  • Bug report regarding GitHub Actions runner's `safe_sleep.sh` hanging indefinitely during updates.
  • Occurs rarely, possibly when the machine is overloaded or overcommitted in cloud environments.
  • Steps to reproduce include using an older runner version (e.g., 2.322), registering it, and observing the update process.
  • Expected behavior is that the update completes without hanging infinitely.
  • Affected runner version: 2.322 on Linux OS.
