-# ADR 0274: Step outcome and conclusion
-
-**Date**: 2020-01-13
-
-**Status**: Accepted
-
-## Context
-
-This ADR proposes adding `steps.<id>.outcome` and `steps.<id>.conclusion` to the steps context.
-
-This allows downstream a step to run based on whether a previous step succeeded or failed.
-
-Reminder, currently the steps contains `steps.<id>.outputs`.
-
-## Decision
-
-For steps that have completed, populate `steps.<id>.outcome` and `steps.<id>.conclusion` with one of the following values:
-
-- `success`
-- `failure`
-- `cancelled`
-- `skipped`
-
-When a continue-on-error step fails, the outcome will be `failure` even though the final conclusion is `success`.
-
-### Example
-
-```yaml
-steps:
-
-  - id: experimental
-    continue-on-error: true
-    run: ./build.sh experimental
-
-  - if: ${{ steps.experimental.outcome == 'success' }}
-    run: ./publish.sh experimental
-```
-
-### Terminology
-
-The runs API uses the term `conclusion`.
-
-Therefore we use a different term `outcome` for the value prior to continue-on-error.
-
-The following is a snippet from the runs API response payload:
-
-```json
-      "steps": [
-        {
-          "name": "Set up job",

-# ADR 0297: Base64 Masking Trailing Characters
-
-**Date** 2020-01-21
-
-**Status** Proposed
-
-## Context
-
-The Runner registers a number of Value Encoders, which mask various encodings of a provided secret. Currently, we register a 3 base64 Encoders:
-- The base64 encoded secret
-- The secret with the first character removed then base64 encoded
-- The secret with the first two characters removed then base64 encoded
-
-This gives us good coverage across the board for secrets and secrets with a prefix (i.e. `base64($user:$pass)`).
-
-However, we don't have great coverage for cases where the secret has a string appended to it before it is base64 encoded (i.e.: `base64($pass\n))`). 
-
-Most notably we've seen this as a result of user error where a user accidentially appends a newline or space character before encoding their secret in base64.
-
-## Decision
-
-### Trim end characters
-
-We are going to modify all existing base64 encoders to trim information before registering as a secret.
-We will trim:
-- `=` from the end of all base64 strings. This is a padding character that contains no information. 
-  - Based on the number of `=`'s at the end of a base64 string, a malicious user could predict the length of the original secret modulo 3. 
-    - If a user saw `***==`, they would know the secret could be 1,4,7,10... characters.
-- If a string contains `=` we will also trim the last non-padding character from the base64 secret.
-  - This character can change if a string is appended to the secret before the encoding.
-
-
-### Register a fourth encoder
-
-We will also add back in the original base64 encoded secret encoder for four total encoders:
-- The base64 encoded secret
-- The base64 encoded secret trimmed
-- The secret with the first character removed then base64 encoded and trimmed
-- The secret with the first two characters removed then base64 encoded and trimmed
-
-This allows us to fully cover the most common scenario where a user base64 encodes their secret and expects the entire thing to be masked.
-This will result in us only revealing length or bit information when a prefix or suffix is added to a secret before encoding. 
-
-## Consequences
-
-- In the case where a secret has a prefix or suffix added before base64 encoding, we may now reveal up to 20 bits of information and the length of the original string modulo 3, rather then the original 16 bits and no length information
-- Secrets with a suffix appended before encoding will now be masked across the board. Previously it was only masked if it was a multiple of 3 characters
-- Performance will suffer in a neglible way

-# ADR 354: Expose runner machine info
-
-**Date**: 2020-03-02
-
-**Status**: Pending
-
-## Context
-
-- Provide a mechanism in the runner to include extra information in `Set up job` step's log.
-  Ex: Include OS/Software info from Hosted image.
-
-## Decision
-
-The runner will look for a file `.setup_info` under the runner's root directory, The file can be a JSON with a simple schema.
-```json
-[
-  {
-    "group": "OS Detail",
-    "detail": "........"
-  },
-  {
-    "group": "Software Detail",
-    "detail": "........"
-  }
-]
-```
-The runner will use `##[group]` and `##[endgroup]` to fold all detail info into an expandable group.
-
-Both [virtual-environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments) and self-hosted runners can use this mechanism to add extra logging info to the `Set up job` step's log.
-
-## Consequences
-
-1. Change the runner to best effort read/parse `.extra_setup_info` file under runner root directory.
-2. [virtual-environments](https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments) generate the file during image generation.
-3. Change MMS provisioner to properly copy the file to runner root directory at runtime.

-# ADR 361: Wrapper Action
-
-**Date**: 2020-03-06
-
-**Status**: Pending
-
-## Context
-
-In addition to action's regular execution, action author may wants their action has a chance to participate in:
-- Job initialize  
-  My Action will collect machine resource usage (CPU/RAM/Disk) during a workflow job execution, we need to start perf recorder at the begin of the job.
-- Job cleanup  
-  My Action will dirty local workspace or machine environment during execution, we need to cleanup these changes at the end of the job.  
-  Ex: `actions/checkout@v2` will write `github.token` into local `.git/config` during execution, it has post job cleanup defined to undo the changes.
-
-## Decision
-
-### Add `pre` and `post` execution to action
-
-Node Action Example:
-
-```yaml
- name: 'My action with pre'
- description: 'My action with pre'
- runs:
-   using: 'node12'
-   pre: 'setup.js'
-   pre-if: 'success()' // Optional
-   main: 'index.js'
-   post: 'cleanup.js'
-   post-if: 'success()' // Optional
-```
-
-Container Action Example:
-
-```yaml
- name: 'My action with pre'
- description: 'My action with pre'
- runs:
-   using: 'docker'
-   image: 'mycontainer:latest'
-   pre-entrypoint: 'setup.sh'
-   pre-if: 'success()' // Optional
-   entrypoint: 'entrypoint.sh'
-   post-entrypoint: 'cleanup.sh'
-   post-if: 'success()' // Optional
-```
-
-Both `pre` and `post` will has default `pre-if/post-if` sets to `always()`.  
-Setting `pre` to `always()` will make sure no matter what condition evaluate result the `main` gets at runtime, the `pre` has always run already.   
-`pre` executes in order of how the steps are defined.  
-`pre` will always be added to job steps list during job setup.  
-> Action referenced from local repository (`./my-action`) won't get `pre` setup correctly since the repository haven't checkout during job initialize.  
-> We can't use GitHub api to download the repository since there is a about 3 mins delay between `git push` and the new commit available to download using GitHub api.
-
-`post` will be pushed into a `poststeps` stack lazily when the action's `pre` or `main` execution passed `if` condition check and about to run, you can't have an action that only contains a `post`, we will pop and run each `post` after all `pre` and `main` finished.
-> Currently `post` works for both repository action (`org/repo@v1`) and local action (`./my-action`)
-
-Valid action:
-- only has `main`
-- has `pre` and `main`
-- has `main` and `post`
-- has `pre`, `main` and `post`
-
-Invalid action:
-- only has `pre`
-- only has `post`
-- has `pre` and `post`
-
-Potential downside of introducing `pre`:
-
-- Extra magic wrt step order. Users should control the step order. Especially when we introduce templates.  
-- Eliminates the possibility to lazily download the action tarball, since `pre` always run by default, we have to download the tarball to check whether action defined a `pre`  
-- `pre` doesn't work with local action, we suggested customer use local action for testing their action changes, ex CI for their action, to avoid delay between `git push` and GitHub repo tarball download api.  
-- Condition on the `pre` can't be controlled using dynamic step outputs. `pre` executes too early.

-# ADR 0397: Support adding custom labels during runner config
-**Date**: 2020-03-30
-
-**Status**: Approved
-
-## Context
-
-Since configuring self-hosted runners is commonly automated via scripts, the labels need to be able to be created during configuration.  The runner currently registers the built-in labels (os, arch) during registration but does not accept labels via command line args to extend the set registered.
-
-See Issue: https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/262
-
-This is another version of [ADR275](https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/275)
-
-## Decision
-
-This ADR proposes that we add a `--labels` option to `config`, which could be used to add custom additional labels to the configured runner.
-
-For example, to add a single extra label the operator could run:
-```bash
-./config.sh --labels mylabel
-```
-> Note: the current runner command line parsing and envvar override algorithm only supports a single argument (key).
-
-This would add the label `mylabel` to the runner, and enable users to select the runner in their workflow using this label:
-```yaml
-runs-on: [self-hosted, mylabel]
-```
-
-To add multiple labels the operator could run:
-```bash
-./config.sh --labels mylabel,anotherlabel
-```
-> Note: the current runner command line parsing and envvar override algorithm only supports a single argument (key).
-
-This would add the label `mylabel` and `anotherlabel` to the runner, and enable users to select the runner in their workflow using this label:
-```yaml
-runs-on: [self-hosted, mylabel, anotherlabel]
-```
-
-It would not be possible to remove labels from an existing runner using `config.sh`, instead labels would have to be removed using the GitHub UI.
-
-The labels argument will split on commas, trim and discard empty strings.  That effectively means don't use commans in unattended config label names.  Alternatively we could choose to escape commans but it's a nice to have.
-
-## Replace
-
-If an existing runner exists and the option to replace is chosen (interactively of via unattend as in this scenario), then the labels will be replaced / overwritten (not merged).
-
-## Overriding built-in labels
-
-Note that it is possible to register "built-in" hosted labels like `ubuntu-latest` and is not considered an error.  This is an effective way for the org / runner admin to dictate by policy through registration that this set of runners will be used without having to edit all the workflow files now and in the future.
-
-We will also not make other restrictions such as limiting explicitly adding os / arch labels and validating.  We will assume that explicit labels were added for a reason and not restricting offers the most flexibility and future proofing / compat.
-
-## Consequences
-
-The ability to add custom labels to a self-hosted runner would enable most scenarios where job runner selection based on runner capabilities or characteristics are required.

-# Runner Authentication and Authorization
-
-## Goals
-  - Support runner installs in untrusted domains.
-  - The account that configures or runs the runner process is not relevant for accessing GitHub resources.
-  - Accessing GitHub resources is done with a per-job token which expires when job completes.
-  - The token is granted to trusted parts of the system including the runner, actions and script steps specified by the workflow author as trusted.
-  - All OAuth tokens that come from the Token Service that the runner uses to access Actions Service resources are the same. It's just the scope and expiration of the token that may vary.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Configuring a self-hosted runner is [covered here in the documentation](https://help.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners).
-
-Configuration is done with the user being authenticated via a time-limited, GitHub runner registration token.
-
-*Your credentials are never used for registering the runner with the service.*
-
-![Self-hosted runner config](../res/self-hosted-config.png)
-
-During configuration, an RSA public/private key pair is created, the private key is stored in file on disk. On Windows, the content is protected with DPAPI (machine level encrypted - runner only valid on that machine) and on Linux/OSX with `chmod` permissions.
-
-Using your credentials, the runner is registered with the service by sending the public key to the service which adds that runner to the pool and stores the public key, the Token Service will generate a `clientId` associated with the public key.
-
-## Start and Listen
-
-After configuring the runner, the runner can be started interactively (`./run.cmd` or `./run.sh`) or as a service.
-
-![Self-hosted runner start](../res/self-hosted-start.png)
-
-On start, the runner listener process loads the RSA private key (on Windows decrypting with machine key DPAPI), and asks the Token Service for an OAuth token which is signed with the RSA private key.
-The server then responds with an OAuth token that grants permission to access the message queue (HTTP long poll), allowing the runner to acquire the messages it will eventually run.
-
-## Run a workflow
-
-When a workflow is run, its labels are evaluated, it is matched to a runner and a message is placed in a queue of messages for that runner.  
-The runner then starts listening for jobs via the message queue HTTP long poll.  
-The message is encrypted with the runner's public key, stored during runner configuration.  
-
-![Runner workflow run](../res/workflow-run.png)
-
-A workflow is queued as a result of a triggered [event](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows). Workflows can be scheduled to [run at specific UTC times](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#scheduled-events-schedule) using POSIX `cron` syntax.
-An [OAuth token](http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html) is generated, granting limited access to the host in Actions Service associated with the github.com repository/organization.
-The lifetime of the OAuth token is the lifetime of the run or at most the [job timeout (default: 6 hours)](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idtimeout-minutes), plus 10 additional minutes.
-
-## Accessing GitHub resources
-
-The job message sent to the runner contains the OAuth token to talk back to the Actions Service.
-The runner listener parent process will spawn a runner worker process for that job and send it the job message over IPC.
-The token is never persisted.
-
-Each action is run as a unique subprocess.
-The encrypted access token will be provided as an environment variable in each action subprocess.  
-The token is registered with the runner as a secret and scrubbed from the logs as they are written.
-
-Authentication in a workflow run to github.com can be accomplished by using the [`GITHUB_TOKEN`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/authenticating-with-the-github_token#about-the-github_token-secret)) secret. This token expires after 60 minutes. Please note that this token is different from the OAuth token that the runner uses to talk to the Actions Service.
-
-## Hosted runner authentication
-
-Hosted runner authentication differs from self-hosted authentication in that runners do not undergo a registration process, but instead, the hosted runners get the OAuth token directly by reading the `.credentials` file. The scope of this particular token is limited for a given workflow job execution, and the token is revoked as soon as the job is finished.
