Speed up the organization check

[silveltman]

Replaces pnpm/action-setup with corepack and caches node_modules per lockfile, so later pushes to a pull request skip the install.

Measured on draft experiment PRs (fulldotdev/silveltman#12, fulldotdev/finetics#23):

	Current Check	This version
silveltman, first push	41s	36s
silveltman, second push	40s	27s
finetics, first push	64s	61s
finetics, second push	58s	39s

GitHub bills each job in whole minutes, so staying under 60s halves the billed minutes for repositories like finetics.

The cache is scoped to the pull request, so the first push of a new PR still installs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Streamlined automated checks by enabling Corepack and reusing cached dependencies for projects with a validation script. Dependencies are installed when no matching cache is available, and checks run only for projects that define the script. Cache matching accounts for the runner environment and project dependency files. These workflow updates affect development checks only; no user-facing features or application behavior have changed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

When a pnpm project has a check script, the workflow sets up Node 24 and enables Corepack. It caches node_modules using the runner OS, Node 24, and hashes of the pnpm lockfile, workspace file, and package manifests. The frozen install with scripts ignored runs only when the cache misses. The pnpm check step remains conditional on detecting the script.

Review details

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/check.yml: The conditional Node 24 setup remains; its built-in pnpm cache configuration is removed.
• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/check.yml: Adds a conditional step that enables Corepack instead of installing pnpm through pnpm/action-setup.
• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/check.yml: Adds an actions/cache step for node_modules, keyed by runner OS, Node 24, and hashes of pnpm lock, workspace, and package manifest files.
• observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/check.yml: The install step now runs only when the check script is detected and the node_modules cache misses.
