-We want to support the `uses` steps from workflows in composite actions, including:
-  - Container actions
-  - Javascript actions
-  - Other Composite actions (up to a limit of course!)
-  - The pre and post steps these actions can generate
-
-## Guiding Principles
-
-- Composite Actions should function as a single step or action, no matter how many steps it is composed of or how many levels of recursion it has
-  - In the future we may add a configurable option to make this no longer the case
-- A workflow author should not need to understand the inner workings of a composite action in order to use it
-- Composite actions should leverage inputs to get values they need, they will not have full access to the `context` objects. The secrets context will **not** be available to composite actions, users will need to pass these values in as an input.
-- Other Actions should **just work** inside a composite action, without any code changes
-
-## Decisions
-
-### Composite Recursion Limit
-
-- We will start with supporting a recursion limit of `10` composite actions deep
-- We are free to bump this limit in the future, the code will be written to just require updating a variable. If the graph evaluates beyond the recursion limit, the job will fail in the pre-job phase (The `Set up job` step).
-- A composite actions interface is its inputs and outputs, nothing else is carried over when invoking recursively.
-
-### Pre/Post Steps in nested Actions
-
-- We do not plan on adding the ability to configure a customizable pre or post step for composite actions at this time. However, we will execute the pre and post steps of any actions referenced in a composite action.
-- Composite actions will generate a single pre-step and post-step for the entire composite action, even if there are multiple pre-steps and post-steps in the referenced actions.
-  - These steps will execute following the same ordering rules we have today, first to run has their pre step run first and their post step run last.
-  - For example, if you had a composite action with two pre steps and two posts steps:
-
-  ```
-  - uses: action1
-  - uses: composite1
-  - uses: action2
-  ```
-
-  The order of execution would be:
-
-  ```
-  - prestep-action1
-  - prestep-composite1
-    - prestep-composite1-first-action-referenced
-    - prestep-composite1-second-action-referenced
-  - prestep-action2
-  - the job steps
-  - poststep-action2
-  - poststep-composite1
-    - poststep-composite1-the-second-action-referenced
-    - poststep-composite1-first-action-referenced
-  - poststep-action1
-  ```
-
-#### Set-state
-
-- While the composite action has an individual combined pre/post action, the `set-state` command will not be shared.
-- If the `set-state` command is used during a composite step, only the action that originally called `set-state` will have access to the env variable during the post run step.
-  - This prevents multiple actions that set the same state from interfering with the execution of another action's post step.
-
-### Resolve Action Endpoint changes
-
-- The resolve actions endpoint will now validate policy to ensure that the given workflow run has access to download that action.
-  - Older GHES/GHAE customers with newer runners will be locked out of composite uses steps until they upgrade their instance.
-
-### Local actions
-- Local actions will expand the tree, perform policy checks, and download actions Just in Time when the step is running.
-- Like current local actions, we will not support presteps. If an action is running local, by the time we know that, the time to run presteps have already passed.
-
-### If, continue-on-error, timeout-minutes - Not being considered at this time
-
-- `if`, `continue-on-error`, `timeout-minutes` could be supported in composite run/uses steps. These values were not originally supported in our composite run steps implementation.
-  - Browsing the community forums and runner repo, there hasn't been a lot of noise asking for these features, so we will hold off on them.
-- These values passed as input into the composite action will **not** be carried over as input into the individual steps the composite action runs.
-
-### Defaults - Not being considered at this time
-
-- In actions, we have the idea of [defaults](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#defaultsrun) , which allow you to specify a shell and working directory in one location, rather then on each step.
-- However, `shell` is currently required in composite run steps
-  - In regular run steps, it is optional, and defaults to a different value based on the OS.
-- We want to prioritize the right experience for the consumer, and make the action author continue to explicitly set these values. We can consider improving this experience in the future.
-
-## Consequences
-
-- Workflows are now more reusable across multiple workflow files
-- Composite actions implement most of the existing workflow run steps, with room to expand these in the future
-- Feature flags will control this rollout

-
-If you just want to get from building the sourcecode to using it to execute an action, you will need:
-
-- The url of your repository
-- A runner registration token. You can find it at `https://github.com/{your-repo}/settings/actions/runners/new`

-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/actions/runner

-./config.(sh/cmd) --url https://github.com/{your-repo} --token ABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCAB # accept default name, labels and work folder
-./run.(sh/cmd)
-```
-
-If you trigger a job now, you can see the runner execute it.
-
-Tip: Make sure your job can run on this runner. The easiest way is to set `runs-on: self-hosted` in the workflow file.

-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/actions/runner
-cd runner
-```
-If you want to push your changes to a remote, it is recommended you fork the repository and use that fork as your origin instead of `https://github.com/actions/runner`.
-
-
-### Build Layout:
-
-This command will build all projects, then copies them and other dependencies into a folder called `_layout`. The binaries in this folder are then used for running, debugging the runner.

-These examples use VS Code, but the idea should be similar across all IDEs as long as you attach to the same processes in the right folder.
-## Configure
-
-To successfully start the runner, you need to register it using a repository and a runner registration token.
-Run `Configure` first to build the source code and set up the runner in `_layout`. 
-Once it's done creating `_layout`, it asks for the url of your repository and your token in the terminal.

-
-## Debugging
-
-Debugging the full lifecycle of a job can be tricky, because there are multiple processes involved.
-All the configs below can be found in `.vscode/launch.json`.
-
-## Debug the Listener
-
-```json
-{
-    "name": "Run [build]",
-    "type": "coreclr",
-    "request": "launch",
-    "preLaunchTask": "build runner layout",  // use the config called "Run" to launch without rebuild
-    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/_layout/bin/Runner.Listener",
-    "args": [
-        "run" // run without args to print usage
-    ],
-    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
-    "console": "integratedTerminal",
-    "requireExactSource": false,
-}
-```
-
-If you launch `Run` or `Run [build]`, it starts a process called `Runner.Listener`.
-This process will receive any job queued on this repository if the job runs on matching labels (e.g `runs-on: self-hosted`).
-Once a job is received, a `Runner.Listener` starts a new process of `Runner.Worker`. 
-Since this is a diferent process, you can't use the same debugger session debug it.
-Instead, a parallel debugging session has to be started, using a different launch config.
-Luckily, VS Code supports multiple parallel debugging sessions.
-
-## Debug the Worker
-
-Because the worker process is usually started by the listener instead of an IDE, debugging it from start to finish can be tricky.
-For this reason, `Runner.Worker` can be configured to wait for a debugger to be attached before it begins any actual work.
-
-Set the environment variable `GITHUB_ACTIONS_RUNNER_ATTACH_DEBUGGER` to `true` or `1` to enable this wait.
-All worker processes now will wait 20 seconds before they start working on their task. 
-
-This gives enough time to attach a debugger by running `Debug Worker`.
-If for some reason you have multiple workers running, run the launch config `Attach` instead.
-Select `Runner.Worker` from the running processes when VS Code prompts for it.
