The result of a job can only be changed to FAILURE by the Close() function of the reporter under two conditions:
- If it is UNSPECIFIED
- If the context timeout
In all other cases it must be preserved. It is possible, for instance, for a job to be SKIPPED and be associated with an error message, e.g.
```
time="2025-08-20T21:02:07+02:00" level=trace msg="evaluating expression 'success()'" dryrun=false job="Test Action/job-1" jobID=job-1 matrix="map[]"
[Test Action/job-1] [DEBUG] evaluating expression 'success()'
time="2025-08-20T21:02:07+02:00" level=trace msg="expression 'success()' evaluated to 'true'" dryrun=false job="Test Action/job-1" jobID=job-1 matrix="map[]"
[Test Action/job-1] [DEBUG] expression 'success()' evaluated to 'true'
time="2025-08-20T21:02:07+02:00" level=trace msg="'runs-on' key not defined in Test Action/job-1" dryrun=false job="Test Action/job-1" jobID=job-1 matrix="map[]"
[Test Action/job-1] 'runs-on' key not defined in Test Action/job-1
[Test Action/job-1] [DEBUG] No steps found
```
Those errors show in the logs when a job is skipped, because the worflow is empty. But they are expected and to be ignored.

- when there is a timeout, display a message more descriptive than
"context deadline"
- always set the StoppedAt state value instead of only if the
result was unspecified: it is the last state update.

ctx & cancel are related and when cancel is called, the context is no
longer usable. Use the daemon context context to allow the reporter to
continue to operate and conclude the converation with the Forgejo
instance.
The daemon context is needed when the context of a job or the poller
is done. Otherwise it is no longer possible to send a conclusion
report to Forgejo, short of creating a context.Background() which
poses its own set of problems.
- WithDaemonContext is used to store the daemon context
- The poller uses the daemon context instead of context.Background
The other setting that asks you for a URL as input
does so while specifically stating it should have a
trailing slash. This commit adds similar
clarification to the other setting.

[Raised on Forgejo](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/8803): when a runner is registered with spaces in the comma-separated label list, eg. ` "docker:docker://node:22-bookworm, self-hosted:host, lxc:lxc://debian:bookworm"`, the runner will currently get the labels `"docker"`, `" self-hosted"`, and `" lxc"` which causes unexpected confusion. Forgejo doesn't display the labels usefully, and targeting the runner with `runs-on` in an action would require an unexpected quoting (eg. `runs-on: " lxc"`).
As an alternative to fixing this in Forgejo's label display, two changes are present here:
- When registering labels via the CLI `--labels` option, or the interactive registering, automatically strip spaces around the commas in the comma-separated list.
- **Breaking**: During startup of the runner, label names that start/end with a space will be considered invalid, resulting in a logged error and the label being ignored:
```
WARN[2025-08-08T21:00:13-06:00] ignored invalid label " debian-latest:docker://node:current-bookworm" error="invalid label \" debian-latest\": starting or ending with a space is invalid"
```
This is a breaking change in behavior in the case that someone has registered a runner with spaces and modified their activities to use them after recognizing the problem. But I tend to think it's more likely that this change will *highlight* a misconfiguration and help someone fix it.

r.logOffset = ack
ack < r.logOffset+len(rows)

which is only false if there were no rows to send. It follows
that
if noMore && ack < r.logOffset+len(rows) {

if noMore {
is always true if rows were sent.
The intent was apparently to return on error and retry if only
part of the rows were sent but not all of them. To achieve that
the expression is replaced with:
if noMore && len(r.logRows) > 0 {
- the longest secret is masked first
- multiline secrets are masked before single line secrets
- O(multiline * log rows) to not degrade performances when there are
no multiline secrets
and it is kind of useless anyway because invalid workflows are currently failing in very inconsistent and unpredictable ways.
