What labels are applied to these runners by default?

Runners are automatically tagged with 'self-hosted', 'linux', 'x64', and 'bazzite-ai' to help you target them in your workflow YAML files.

How does the skill handle GitHub authentication?

The skill uses the GitHub CLI (gh auth login) to automatically generate and refresh registration tokens, eliminating the need for manual token management.

What is the benefit of ephemeral storage for runners?

Ephemeral storage ensures that each runner instance starts with a clean state upon restart, preventing build artifacts or cache bloat from affecting subsequent jobs.

Can I run multiple runners for a single repository?

Yes, you can configure and start multiple instances (e.g., instance 1, 2, 3) to create a runner pool that handles multiple concurrent workflow jobs.

How do I update my runners without interrupting CI/CD?

The skill includes a rolling-update command that sequentially stops, updates, and restarts each runner instance, ensuring at least one runner remains available.
