DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

"pool" renamed to "environment" in runner flags, old names still work

Self-Hosted Runners Notable not in their notes

Runner "pool" flags are renamed to "environment"; old names still work but warn.

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.
