"Its not like act, because we can add AI"

Is what it boils down to.

I did not say that, what I said was: It's not like `act` because it's not a rewrite of the runner. It's the standard runner... So the one that actually runs GitHub Actions.

I have tried to use act many times, and many times I've failed.

P.S. pause on failure is also helpful for humans, but I'm trying to be realistic about where the future of programming is going...

I had extremely bad experience trying to setup act on my Macbook. If this is something that actually works (and doesn't steal my credentials), I'm willing to try it despite AI non-features.
