Pull request overview
This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow configuration to enable continuous integration for an Elixir project. The workflow automatically runs on pushes and pull requests to the main branch.
- Adds automated build and test execution using GitHub Actions
- Configures dependency caching to improve CI performance
- Sets up Elixir 1.15.2 with OTP 26.0 using the erlef/setup-beam action

The cache configuration is incomplete. It only caches the deps directory, but Elixir projects should also cache the _build directory to avoid recompiling dependencies on every run. Add _build to the path to improve CI performance. The path should be multi-line with both deps and _build listed.

The cache key only includes the mix.lock hash, but not the Elixir/OTP versions. This means that if you change Elixir or OTP versions in the workflow, the cached dependencies compiled for the old versions will be reused, potentially causing compilation errors or runtime issues. Consider updating the key to include version information, for example: ${{ runner.os }}-mix-${{ matrix.elixir }}-${{ matrix.otp }}-${{ hashFiles('**/mix.lock') }} or a similar pattern if not using a matrix strategy.

The workflow is missing important code quality checks that are standard for Elixir projects. Consider adding steps to run mix compile --warnings-as-errors (to catch compilation warnings), mix format --check-formatted (to verify code formatting since .formatter.exs exists in the project), and potentially mix credo or mix dialyzer if those tools are added to the project. These checks help maintain code quality and catch issues early.

The workflow runs mix test immediately after installing dependencies, without an explicit compilation step. While mix test will compile the code automatically, adding an explicit mix compile step before running tests would make build failures clearer and separate compilation issues from test failures in the CI logs. This is particularly helpful when debugging CI failures.

The Elixir version specified here (1.15.2) is incompatible with the project's requirements. The mix.exs file specifies elixir: "~> 1.19", which requires Elixir version 1.19.0 or higher. This mismatch will cause the CI build to fail when running mix commands. Update the elixir-version to '1.19' or a later version that satisfies the project requirements.

The actions/cache action is using v3, but v4 is the latest version available. Using v4 provides better performance, improved caching reliability, and compatibility with the latest GitHub Actions features. Consider updating to actions/cache@v4 to benefit from these improvements.

The cache key should also include the Elixir and OTP versions to prevent using cached artifacts built with different versions. Update the key to: 'key: ${{ runner.os }}-mix-${{ hashFiles('**/mix.lock') }}-${{ matrix.elixir }}-${{ matrix.otp }}' (or use the specific versions if not using a matrix).

Using actions/cache@v3 is outdated. The workflow already uses actions/checkout@v4, so for consistency and to benefit from the latest improvements, consider updating this to actions/cache@v4.

The Elixir version 1.17.3 specified here is incompatible with the version constraint in mix.exs (line 8), which specifies "> 1.15". The ">" operator means >= 1.15.0 and < 1.16.0, so Elixir 1.17.3 will not satisfy this constraint. This will cause the CI build to fail or produce misleading results since it's testing with a version outside the declared compatibility range. Either update the CI to use a 1.15.x version or update mix.exs to support 1.17.x (e.g., "> 1.15" should be changed to "> 1.15 or ~> 1.17" or use a range like ">= 1.15.0").
