more metrics can be collected, and then set swap to 8gb or 4gb if possible

@coderabbitai examine the logs above and post a summary table, convert to megabytes

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@jiridanek, I'll analyze the memory usage logs and create a summary table with values converted to megabytes.

Here's the memory usage summary from your code-server builds:

Timestamp	Build Source	Used Heap (MB)	Total Heap (MB)	Heap Limit (MB)	Available (MB)	Peak Malloc (MB)
21:29:11	GitHub Actions	2,183.8	2,238.1	16,394.5	14,172.8	19.1
23:00:05	Konflux	2,183.6	2,242.9	16,394.5	14,173.0	19.1
23:42:46	GitHub Actions	2,181.4	2,241.0	16,394.5	14,173.1	19.1
23:36:41	GitHub Actions	2,192.7	2,252.3	16,394.5	14,164.8	19.1
23:53:58	Konflux	2,135.0	2,215.6	16,394.5	14,217.9	20.2

Key Observations:

• Used Heap: Consistently around 2,135-2,193 MB (~2.1-2.2 GB)
• Total Heap: Around 2,216-2,252 MB (~2.2-2.3 GB)
• Heap Limit: Fixed at 16,394.5 MB (~16 GB)
• Available Memory: ~14.1-14.2 GB remaining
• Peak Malloc: Very low at ~19-20 MB

The memory usage is quite stable across builds, with the heap consuming about 2.1-2.2 GB out of the 16 GB limit. There's plenty of available memory (~14+ GB), suggesting the current swap settings could potentially be reduced from the proposed 8GB to 4GB as mentioned in your PR objectives, since the actual memory pressure is much lower than the available capacity.

Learning: jiridanek prefers to implement systematic cleanup improvements through dedicated GitHub issues (like #2076) rather than applying individual point fixes during PR reviews, maintaining consistency with their established pattern of comprehensive code quality improvements.

Learning: jiridanek requested GitHub issue creation for swap creation resilience improvement in ci/cached-builds/gha_lvm_overlay.sh during PR #2356 review. The issue addresses lvcreate failures on small runners by implementing dynamic swap sizing (20% of VG free space, minimum 1024MiB), using mkswap -f flag to prevent signature prompts, and reducing vm.swappiness to 10 for less aggressive swapping, continuing the established pattern of systematic infrastructure improvements through detailed issue tracking.
