Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
A new internal helper parses duration strings such as 5s or -2.5s into milliseconds, then clamps the result to a minimum floor. It is used when computing how long a self-hosted runner waits between health polls, as a fallback for when the setting pollIntervalOverrideMs is not provided.
Why
This lets the runner's poll interval be configured or overridden using a simple duration string instead of raw milliseconds, while the floor clamp prevents an accidentally too-short or negative value from causing excessive polling.
