Contains a number of small bug fixes where jobs behaved differently from GitHub or failed silently.
1. Hooks fail on a refused `::set-env::` or `::add-path::` and no longer inherit the last step's identity
1. Docker build, exec and wait errors are returned instead of swallowed, token-only registry credentials work, logs of `--tty` services decode
1. Env files split lines like GitHub on each OS, so a carriage return is kept on Linux and CRLF ends a line on Windows, empty heredoc names or delimiters are rejected
1. Post steps run after their pre step even when main was skipped, composites see undeclared inputs, `runs.args` wins without `with.args` being parsed
1. Docker actions skip evaluating defaults of inputs given in `with` and read `entryPoint` and `args` in any case, a lowercase `dockerfile` is found, undeclared inputs get GitHub's warning
1. A user-set `CI` is kept, `GITHUB_REPOSITORY_ID` and the other missing `GITHUB_*` variables are exported
1. `timeout-minutes` can read the step's own `env`, a step-level `ACTIONS_ALLOW_UNSECURE_COMMANDS: false` beats a job-level `true` while the runner's own opt-in still wins, `pwsh` quotes the script path
1. A step `env:` given as one expression such as `${{ fromJSON(matrix.env) }}` is applied, `hashFiles` fails with GitHub's messages on script errors and after 120 seconds, a job image without node still gets an empty hash
1. A step whose command files cannot be reset fails instead of importing stale ones, a timeout between steps fails the job instead of reporting success
1. One named volume can be mounted at several paths, host-mode PTY steps keep their last output when they fail, host scratch directories are removed when job setup fails
1. Cancelling a step right after it starts kills its whole process tree
1. Cache prefix restores pick the newest entry created within the same second, also on S3, cache commits with a wrong size are rejected
1. Artifact chunks are written at their offset, download URLs are escaped, listing a run without artifacts no longer crashes
1. Poll backoff reaches `fetch_interval_max`, proxy passwords are masked in more forms, secrets are also masked in step names and in their quoted form in the runner log, a failed final report is logged
1. On Windows hosts a differently cased unsecure-commands opt-in or proxy variable counts, and an early cancel no longer leaks a job object handle
1. Interactive `register` prompts for a missing token and stops on SIGTERM, `exec --list --detect-event` no longer panics without events, `config set` works on `cache.s3` keys

Add `act/common/logging`: a printf-style `Logger` on a slog-shaped `Handler`, with a logrus-backed handler as the only backend, plus a `logtest` handler for tests. Move the job logger onto it: `common.Logger` returns `*logging.Logger`, the job log formatters and the `Reporter` hook become handlers, and composite step IDs travel in the context.
Logging is tightly coupled to logrus types (hooks, formatters, `Entry.Data`). Going through our own interface first lets the remaining call sites move over with unchanged behavior, and lets the backend be swapped for `log/slog` in one place afterwards. The global process logger and its masking formatter stay on logrus for now.

Fixes 51 bugs discovered via comparison with `actions/runner`. Every fix has test coverage.
### Secrets
- A short secret registered no shifted-base64 form, so `base64("user:$TOKEN")` printed in the clear
- Encoded forms came only from the whole trimmed value, missing padded and per-line spellings
- Masks split only on `\n`, so `::add-mask::a%0Db` registered neither half
- Adds XML, expression-string and quote-trimming encoders
### Workflow commands
- Split at the last `::` or `]` rather than the first, so `::add-mask::a::b` registered no mask
- A command on the last line without a newline was ignored, and `::ADD-MASK::` did nothing
- `##[...]` did not decode `%3B`/`%5D`, properties lost anything after a second `=`
- `$GITHUB_ENV` and `::set-env::` now refuse `NODE_OPTIONS`
### Status
- `continue-on-error` reported failed, a cancelled job reported success, an `if:` error reported cancelled
- File commands ran after `continue-on-error`, failing the job while the step stayed green
- A bad job output aborted the whole run instead of that job
### Steps and actions
- `${{ matrix.* }}` and `${{ strategy.* }}` were empty inside composite actions
- Composite inputs leaked into nested actions as `INPUT_*`, `with:` matched case-sensitively, `pre` failures were dropped
- Docker actions dropped `runs.env` when the caller passed `with: args:`, and caller `args`/`entrypoint` beat the manifest
- An implicit shell ran with `pipefail`, a `shell:` without `{0}` passed without running
- `container.env` overrode job env and every `$GITHUB_ENV` write, heredocs lost leading blank lines, `$GITHUB_PATH` was not BOM-decoded

A secret in a matrix value reached the log in the clear:
```yaml
strategy:
matrix:
include: "${{ github.token }}"
```
Chasing that one route is pointless, so this masks every sink a secret leaves a job by: the uploaded log rows and the on-disk `job.log`, both through one choke point in `appendLogRow`; the runner's own log, which is where planning errors like that one land with no job logger in reach; the job logger's stdout under debug logging; job summaries; job outputs; and the job name that becomes a container name.
Values the runner knows but the job never declared, the proxy password and the task token, are hidden the same way. Masks apply longest first, since `strings.Replacer` matches in argument order and one secret prefixing another would otherwise mask the prefix and print the rest.
### What changes for users
An output whose value carries a secret is skipped with a warning instead of sent, matching GitHub. Output that showed a secret now shows `***`. `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG` and `ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG` are never masked, also matching GitHub, so an output of `true` still reaches the jobs that need it.
Each fix has a test that fails without it.

Only the verbatim value of a secret was masked, so a secret leaked through an action that serialized it stayed readable: `toJSON(secrets)` escapes it, an Authorization header carries it base64-encoded, a URL percent-encodes it. Each secret and `::add-mask::` value is now masked in those forms too, matching the value encoders of GitHub's runner. Encodings that leave the value unchanged are skipped, so a plain token still costs a single replacement pair. Includes regression tests.

Command data is percent-escaped on the wire because Gitea's job log cannot carry a newline, and the renderer decodes it.
1. Unescaping iterated a map, so order was random per process: `%250A` decoded to a newline instead of a literal `%0A` about two runs in three. Now a precompiled `strings.NewReplacer`.
1. Escape the data of command lines the runner writes itself (`##[error]`, `::group::Run …`), so decoding returns the original text instead of mangling a `%`. Multi-line runner errors also get real line breaks instead of a literal `\n`.
1. Register secrets in escaped form too — one containing `%` reaches the log as `%25…` and was never masked.
1. Decode in `jobLogFormatter`, so `gitea-runner exec` matches the web view.
## Relation to the Gitea PR
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/38659 makes the renderer decode command data. Point 2 is required by it; the rest stand alone. Either order works — until both land, a new runner on old Gitea shows `%25`, an old runner on new Gitea shows the mangling point 2 fixes.
