Yes there is. I have just pushed such a change that applies to both general
CI (your SUSE jobs were crashing out from time to time) as well as to Craft
mingw builds to both master and release/26.04.

I'd suggest reviewing whether some of the files that make up the Kdenlive
code can be broken up or have the number of included headers reduced. I say
this as the cppcheck job at least towards the end spent an awful lot of
time processing just three files (I watched the job run with htop on the
server console), with a long tail on each of those individual files (and
cppcheck took longer than any of the normal platform compile jobs to run).
Unfortunately it didn't indicate which ones but hopefully you are aware of
which files are long / have excessively large numbers of header includes.

That would also probably solve issues like this where jobs are running out
of memory during a build, as having even just one or two large files during
a job means the compiler needs quite a bit of memory to build that one
file. I have worked around that by reducing the number of simultaneous
build jobs, however that is a workaround to the real issue - which is large
or very complex (lots of templates has been known to cause quite a few
issues) individual *.cpp files.

For those not aware, CI jobs generally run in a VM that is provisioned with
16GB RAM and 12 CPU cores, and by default it will make use of all of those
cores (-j 12).
