+# WDIPL-Runner: stale reusable workflows (`uses: ...@main`)
+
+The runner caches clones under **`/root/.cache/act/`** (e.g. `Rajendra.Reddy-wdipl-actions@main`). After you change **`wdipl-actions`**, consumers may still execute an **old `ci.yml`** (wrong `if:` / missing `ci_steps`).
+
+**Fix one of:**
+
+1. Pin **`uses:` to a commit SHA** from `wdipl-actions`, e.g.  
+   `uses: .../ci.yml@6b9982def7d49842c0dc75529c0f60cc74a841c1`  
+   Bump the SHA whenever you change central CI.
+2. On the runner host, delete that cache folder and re-run the workflow.
+3. Upgrade the runner if a newer release fixes cache invalidation.

 # Gitea MCP + Actions API (Cursor)
 
 Official **gitea-mcp** (and the Go SDK it uses) calls **`GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs`** to list workflow runs and job logs.
