The `mxschmitt/action-tmate/detached` Action does exactly the same as the `mxschmitt/action-tmate` Action, except defaulting to detached mode. This will come in handy in the increasingly many cases I seem to experience of late where I want to use the detached mode without the price of adding a `with` section. Not a big price, but it accumulates. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
This "sub-"Action merely switches the default to `detached: true`. Which is so much more convenient than having to add a `with:` section _just_ for that mode. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

We now limit access to the actor by default, iff the actor has a public SSH key registered in their GitHub profile. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

In #218, I added a convenient way to launch this Action in detached mode: `mxschmitt/action-tmate/detached@v3`. The way this is implemented is a copy/edited version of `action.yml` in the `detached/` subdirectory. This runs the danger of inadvertent divergences, as happened in #221 (which I caught in time and the contributor gracefully addressed). Let's add automation not only to update the file easily but also to cause a failure in the PR build with a helpful message suggesting how to fix the problem.

The way this is implemented is a copy/edited version of `action.yml` in the `detached/` subdirectory.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]> * detached/action.yml: synchronize with `action.yml` There was a difference in whitespace, caught by the new step in `checkin.yml`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]> * ci: fix 'Verify that the project is built' The output of that step, if something goes wrong, claims that `dist/` is not up to date, but the build product is in `lib/`. Also, `git status -s` shows not only differences in the tracked files, but also untracked files (which should not exist at that stage). Let's avoid puzzling contributors when there are untracked files by logging the output of `git status -s`.

It is more useful this way, too, as I never encountered a situation where I would want to run this Action on multiple runners, having to log in concurrently into multiple tmate sessions, and I doubt that anyone else has encountered that situation, either. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]> * Add a node.js script to update manual-test's `runs-on` options As I had suggested in mxschmitt#224 (comment), it would be good to have some sort of automation to update the ever-changing list of runner pools that are supported by GitHub.

I find myself only using the detached mode as of the past year or so. Naturally, in hindsight I wish for that mode to be the default, for that reason. It would be far from a good idea to change the default now, after many years of users having grown accustomed to the current working of the Action.
But there's an easy way to have what I want anyway: by adding a "sub-Action", i.e. a sub-directory with an
action.ymlfile that differs only in the default of thedetachedinput parameter. That way, I can now use the following in my workflows and get precisely what I want:I imagine that this will be useful for other users, too, therefore I updated the
README.mdfile accordingly.
