`npm install` occasionally times out

(Sorry if this is not the appropriate place to ask)

My package.json lists a private git repo as dependency as

"dependencies": {
  "@org/package": "github:org/package"
}

I'm using webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0 so that it can install this package.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-2022
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: webfactory/ssh-agent@v0.9.0
      with:
        ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
    - name: Use Node.js 22.7
      uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: 22.7
    # This step may fail
    - name: Install
      run: npm clean-install
    - name: Build
      run: npm run build

The problem is that npm clean-install occasionally succeeds after ~5min and occasionally fails after ~15min.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

These errors are now occasionally seen with no changes to the workflow:
