I built a local GitHub Actions runner that pauses so you can shell into the failed step

Short summary

ciwalk is a new open-source tool that runs GitHub Actions workflows locally in Docker and can pause on failure or at breakpoints, dropping you into a shell in the same container environment. It targets the common pain point of insufficient CI logs when a shell step fails. Current limitations include no matrix support, secrets, or full expressions yet.

• •Runs GHA workflows locally in Docker with pause-on-failure capability
• •Drops into a shell with same env/cwd as the failed step
• •MVP with no matrix/secrets/full expressions support yet
