Closes differences from GitHub's runner that common workflows hit:
- `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG` set as a repository variable enables debug output as on GitHub, where a secret of the same name still takes precedence. `runner.debug` and `RUNNER_DEBUG` are now also set inside composite actions, which lost the secret.
- `github.env` and `github.path` hold the file-command paths instead of being empty, so `echo "A=1" >> "${{ github.env }}"` works.
- Remote composite actions only get a pre stage when they nest actions. That stage evaluated `with:` before earlier steps ran, so an input like `${{ fromJSON(steps.meta.outputs.json).v }}` failed the job.
- `ports` on a job container are published, they were ignored while service ports worked.
- Dockerfile action build output reaches the job log. It was logged at debug and dropped, so a failing `RUN` showed only the final error.
- Local Docker actions honor their `.dockerignore`, as `docker build` does.
- Cancelling or timing out a host-mode step sends SIGINT, then SIGTERM after 7.5 seconds and SIGKILL after 2.5 more, as GitHub's runner does, so `trap` handlers and shutdown hooks run.
- `.sh` job hooks fall back to `sh` where bash is missing, and `.ps1` hooks to `powershell` where pwsh is missing, as on GitHub.

Host-mode background processes
Host jobs clean up background step processes at job completion. A step can opt out:
steps:
- name: Start shared helper
env:
RUNNER_TRACKING_ID: ""
run: Start-Process vendor-helper.exe
- Set the
RUNNER_TRACKING_IDoverride in the step'senvbefore it starts. Any value different from the job's ID opts out, including an empty string. On Linux and macOS a script can also set it before starting a process. - Opted-out processes and descendants that inherit the override survive normal job cleanup and expired output waits. Detach helper output because the runner closes leftover output pipes after a bounded wait.
- Cancelling or timing out an active step still terminates its process tree, on Unix with SIGINT, then SIGTERM after 7.5 seconds and SIGKILL after 2.5 more.
- The override does not preserve workspace or temporary files. Store persistent helper files outside those directories and arrange the helper's eventual shutdown.
This follows actions/runner's tracking ID and orphan cleanup. Container jobs follow their container's lifecycle.
