What

--pool-secret-file and SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_POOL_SECRET still work on both the runner and the orchestrator but now print a deprecation warning to stderr. Use --environment-secret-file or SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_ENVIRONMENT_SECRET instead; the error shown when no secret is supplied at all names only the new spellings.

Evidence

[runner:warn] --pool-secret-file is deprecated; use --environment-secret-file

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
