Describe the bug

Hi, I'm running lastest yarn version 4.5.0 on GitHub Actions. I'm using a macos-15-xlarge runner. The memory on this runner it's 16GB, but each time I'm getting this errro about memory. Everything works locally on my mac, but on the GHActions this always fails. Does yarn works with GitHubActions? What its the preffered runner type to avoid this type of error.

Run yarn --version 4.5.0 Run yarn install --immutable --inline-builds ➤ YN0000: · Yarn 4.5.0 ➤ YN0000: ┌ Resolution step Resolution step ➤ YN0000: └ Completed ➤ YN0000: ┌ Post-resolution validation Post-resolution validation ➤ YN0000: └ Completed ➤ YN0000: ┌ Fetch step Fetch step ➤ YN0001: Error: Couldn't allocate enough memory at ZipFS.getBufferAndClose ([worker eval]:1:298892) at ZipFS.saveAndClose ([worker eval]:1:299882) at convertToZipWorker ([worker eval]:1:409186) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at async MessagePort.

To reproduce

1. User any runner
2. My repo it's a react-native project
3. run yarn install --immutable --inline-builds
4. Notice that the YN0001: Error: Couldn't allocate enough memory it's displayed in the logs

Environment

Have been having the same issue, on my local machine (32Gb Mem), for some time now: The only fix I have is to run builds on a 2GB EC2. Have tried upgrading and downgrading yarn, switching how yarn is installed (installing through nvm or proto), switching version of node.

Suggestions in #3972 haven't worked for me either.

Other colleagues also running Ubuntu don't have the same issue. Are there debug flags on the CLI at all?
