 ### Guiding Principles
 
-We don't want the workflow author to need to know how the internal workings of the action work. Users shouldn't know the internal workings of the composite action (for example, `default.shell` and `default.workingDir` should not be inherited from the workflow file to the action file). When deciding how to design certain parts of composite run steps, we want to treat it as one logical step for the consumer.

 ### Shell and Working-directory

The shell attribute is **required** for each run step because the action author does not know what the workflow author is using for the operating system so we need to explicitly prevent unknown behavior by making sure that each run step has an explicit shell **set by the action author.** On the other hand, `working-directory` is optional.

-    "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.
