What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The CLI now ships and dispatches a whole self-hosted-runner subcommand tree: orchestrator, setup, doctor, code-sign, decode-token, plus a bare runner mode. None of this code was in 2.1.223. No flag or remote gate sits in front of the dispatch, so anyone who types the command reaches it.
Details
Each subcommand lazily loads its own module, so startup for everyone else is unaffected.
Comes with its own usage text, an operator setup and doctor guide, and a /healthz probe on the orchestrator.
Entering the path fires a cli_self_hosted_runner_path telemetry event first, then dispatches.
Around 21k lines of runner code are new to the bundle; whether that reflects a new feature or a packaging change is not something the source alone settles.
