Nx hangs when run in my Github Actions

[bwarner]

Current Behavior

Whenever any Nx target (build, lint, test, format:check) is invoked via GitHub Actions, the process hangs. There is no error output or crash; the job simply reaches the GitHub runner timeout limit (or is manually canceled) after long periods of inactivity.

Environment:
Nx Version: 22.13.1
Next.js Version: 16.0.10
Vercel CLI: 50.1.3
Node Version: 22.x
Runner: ubuntu-latest (GitHub-hosted)

The Nx task should initialize the project graph and execute the target, providing standard output logs.

Expected Behavior

The process stops providing logs immediately after the command is invoked. In the provided log, Vercel CLI triggers the command, but Nx never moves past the initialization phase.

I have confirmed that setting NX_DAEMON=false and NX_IS_OFFLINE=true does/does not resolve the hang.
