Docker 29.7 extracts copied archives through `os.Root`, which refuses to follow a symlink to an absolute target, so copying into `/var/run/act` fails with `path escapes from parent` on the many images that link `/var/run` to `/run`. The daemon now resolves every path component for us before any tar entry name is built, and the destination is created with one directory entry per missing component, which no daemon version rejects.
Verified against real daemons (29.4.0, 29.5.0, 29.5.1, 29.5.3, 29.6.2, 29.7.0-rc.1) with `debian:bookworm` (absolute symlink) and `alpine:3` (relative symlink), and against `moby/go-archive` v0.2.0 through the pending fix branch.

`CopyTarStream` creates the destination directory by extracting a one-entry tarball with `DestinationPath: "/"`, but named that entry with the absolute `destPath`. Docker Engine 29.5+ tightened path validation on the copy API and rejects absolute entry names against a `/` destination with `statat var/run/act/actions/<sha>: path escapes from parent`, so the action directory never reached the job container and `actions/checkout` failed during "Set up job". Stripping the leading slash makes the entry relative, matching what the sibling `copyDir` already does and the upstream fix in nektos/act v0.2.89. Adds a regression test asserting the mkdir tarball entry is relative.

Workflow-controlled `jobs.<job>.container.options` were merged directly into the
Docker `HostConfig`. When the runner's privileged mode is disabled, only
`Privileged` was forced to `false` — host namespace flags, capability expansion,
security-profile overrides, and device/runtime access from the workflow YAML
survived into the final `HostConfig`. A workflow author could therefore enter
host PID/IPC namespaces and execute commands as root on the runner host:
```yaml
container:
image: ubuntu:22.04
options: >-
--pid=host --ipc=host --cap-add=ALL
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined --security-opt apparmor=unconfined
```
## Fix
`mergeContainerConfigs()` now strips the dangerous options-derived `HostConfig`
fields before merging when privileged mode is off: `PidMode`, `IpcMode`,
`UTSMode`, `CgroupnsMode`, `UsernsMode`, `CapAdd`, `SecurityOpt`, `Devices`,
`DeviceCgroupRules`, `DeviceRequests`, `VolumesFrom`, `Runtime`, `CgroupParent`,
and `Sysctls`. Each strip emits a warning, matching the existing
`--network ignored` handling. Options remain honored when privileged mode is
enabled, since the administrator has already opted into host access.

Leaked per-job networks each hold a subnet of the daemon's address pool and nothing reclaimed them, so a host eventually fails every job with `all predefined address pools have been fully subnetted`. This is what CI hit in https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/actions/runs/742177.
- teardown no longer loses a container, and its network with it: a failed `ContainerRemove` was reported as success, a container whose id was never learned was skipped, and the daemon's own `AutoRemove` teardown was raced
- the idle cleanup reclaims what teardown cannot: networks carry `com.gitea.runner.uuid`, so a runner only touches its own, and a cutoff keeps a job starting during the pass out of scope
- pull failures reported mid-stream were discarded, surfacing later as a confusing `No such image`; they now propagate, and fall back to a local copy instead of failing the job
- `NetworkCreate` retries pool exhaustion briefly, then says which knobs to turn
- digest-pinned images are not re-pulled, and removal kills first so it never waits out Podman's stop timeout (measured 10.1s → 0.09s per container)

1. Docker rejects two mounts on one target, so a `container.volumes:` or `--volume` aimed at `/opt/hostedtoolcache` failed the job with `Duplicate mount point`. Job and service volumes now displace the mount on the same path, and `name:/target:ro` no longer mounts read-write at the literal path `/target:ro`.
1. Setting `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE` only changed what the variable said, the cache stayed where it was, so tools writing to it landed outside the mount and `${{ runner.tool_cache }}` disagreed with the variable. It now relocates the cache. Leaving it unset behaves as before.

`container.options` is parsed with docker/cli's `addFlags`, which omits the flags docker/cli registers on the `create` and `run` commands themselves. Those were rejected as unknown — most visibly `--platform`.
| Flag | Behavior | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--platform` | overrides the runner-wide container architecture | the only way to pick an image architecture per job, e.g. across a matrix |
| `--pull always\|missing\|never` | `always` forces a pull, `never` skips it | `force_pull` is runner-wide config today, with no per-job control |
Both are resolved in `NewContainer` because the image pull runs before the container is created and the two have to agree.
`--name`, `--quiet` and `--disable-content-trust` are now accepted and ignored, and `--use-api-socket` is rejected pointing at `container.docker_host`, so a valid `docker create` line no longer fails outright.

Containers set `HostConfig.AutoRemove` but act also removes them explicitly, so the two removers race and the loser logs a 409 `removal of container X is already in progress` — seen at the end of nearly every `uses: docker://` step.
The explicit remove is redundant for `docker://` steps and docker actions (`Start(true)` already awaited exit), so it's skipped. Job and service containers keep both removers — their `sleep` entrypoint needs `AutoRemove` as a fallback reaper — so there the race is inherent and `remove()` now treats `NotFound` and `Conflict` as success.

## Problem
Several runner code paths could drop the **tail** of a step's log output, so a
failing (or cancelled) step would show output that is missing its last line(s).
This was observed in practice and traced to four independent issues.
## Root causes & fixes
### 1. Trailing line without a newline was never flushed
`common.lineWriter` buffers output until it sees a `\n`. A final line **without**
a trailing newline (e.g. an error message printed right before a process exits,
a panic, `printf` without `\n`) stayed in the internal buffer and was never
emitted — the writer exposed no flush at all.
- Added `lineWriter.Flush()` (idempotent), a `Flusher` interface, and a
`FlushWriter(io.Writer)` helper.
- Flush at every stream EOF: the exec copy goroutine, the container `attach()`
streaming goroutine, and at step end (`useStepLogger`).
### 2. Cancellation/timeout truncated output
`waitForCommand` returned immediately on `ctx.Done()` and abandoned the
output-copy goroutine, losing output the command had already produced. It now
drains with a bounded grace period before returning. The response channel is
buffered so the goroutine can't leak if the drain times out.
### 3. `attach()` raced the final bytes
Container output was streamed in a fire-and-forget goroutine that `wait()` did
not synchronize with, so the step could proceed before the last bytes were
written. `wait()` now blocks on the streaming goroutine (bounded) so output is
fully drained and flushed first.
### 4. `::stop-commands::` silently dropped lines from the step log
Lines between `::stop-commands::<token>` and its end token were echoed without
the `raw_output` field **and** short-circuited the handler chain (`return false`),
so they never reached the step log (non-raw entries aren't appended while a step
is running). Now returns `true` so they are still captured.

`containerReference.id` was cached from `Create()` and never re-validated, so a container torn down out-of-band (AutoRemove on an unexpected exit, daemon-side cleanup, sibling-job race in a parallel matrix) left a stale id behind. The next `Copy`/`Exec` then hit the daemon with that dead id and failed the otherwise-successful job with `Could not find the file /var/run/act/ in container <id>`.
`find()` now `ContainerInspect`s the cached id and clears it only on a definitive `NotFound`; transient errors trust the cache so cleanup pipelines don't abort on a daemon blip. Operations that need a live container (`copyContent`/`copyDir`/`CopyTarStream`/`exec`/`GetContainerArchive`) fail fast with a clear `container "<name>" does not exist` instead of the daemon's generic empty-id error.

Fixes#956.
Pseudo-TTY allocation is now an explicit, runner-wide opt-in via `runner.allocate_pty`, applied to both host and docker backends. Default is off, matching GitHub `actions/runner`.
```yaml
runner:
allocate_pty: false # default
```
**Before:** the host backend hardcoded `if true /* allocate Terminal */` and the docker backend used `term.IsTerminal(os.Stdout.Fd())`. As a result, `docker build` (and other TTY-aware tools) saw a TTY and emitted cursor-control redraw frames that flooded captured logs with thousands of duplicate-looking progress lines — only on host-mode runners in production, and on docker-mode runners when the daemon happened to be launched from a shell rather than a service.
**After:** both backends consult `Config.AllocatePTY`. The `term.IsTerminal` heuristic is gone, so behavior no longer depends on whether the daemon has a controlling terminal.
**Reproduction:** running `docker build` through `HostEnvironment.Exec` with output captured to a buffer:
| | Before (`if true`) | After (`AllocatePTY=false`) |
|---|---:|---:|
| bytes captured | 18,167 | 1,048 |
| ANSI CSI sequences | 556 | 0 |
| cursor-up `\e[1A` | 181 | 0 |
**Side fix:** `ptyWriter.AutoStop` is now `atomic.Bool`. The field is written from the exec goroutine after `cmd.Wait()` and read from the `copyPtyOutput` goroutine via `ptyWriter.Write`; existing tests never tripped the race detector because their commands produced no output before exit. The new host-mode test does.

Fixes: https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/issues/859
Migration approach mirrors [actions-oss/act-cli#154](https://github.com/actions-oss/act-cli/pull/154).
### Dependency changes
- `github.com/docker/docker` v25.0.15 → **removed** (v29 doesn't exist as docker/docker; the project moved to moby/moby)
- `github.com/docker/cli` v25.0.7 → v29.4.3
- `github.com/docker/go-connections` v0.6.0 → v0.7.0
- `github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers` v0.9.5 → v0.9.6
- `github.com/moby/go-archive` added at v0.2.0
- `github.com/moby/moby/api` added at v1.54.2
- `github.com/moby/moby/client` added at v0.4.1
- `github.com/moby/buildkit` removed (only used `dockerignore.ReadAll`, swapped for `moby/patternmatcher/ignorefile.ReadAll` directly)
- `github.com/containerd/errdefs` v0.3.0 → v1.0.0
### Migration
- v28: type aliases moved to their subpackages (`types.{Container,Image,Network,Exec}*` → `container/image/network/...`); deprecated APIs replaced (`ImageInspectWithRaw`, `client.IsErrNotFound`, `archive.CanonicalTarNameForPath`, `opts.ValidateMACAddress`, `ListOpts.GetAll`)
- v29: structural client redesign — every `cli.X(ctx, ...)` call switched to options-everywhere/Result-typed signatures, `ContainerExec*` → `Exec*`, `ContainerWait` returns a struct with `Result`/`Error` channels, `Tty`→`TTY`, `Copy*Container` takes options struct, `client.NewClientWithOpts` → `client.New`. `pkg/stdcopy` moved to `moby/moby/api/pkg/stdcopy`. The vendored copy of `cli/command/container/opts.go` was refreshed from cli v29 (now uses `netip.Addr` for IPs, port-set conversion helpers). A small local `parsePlatform` helper centralises the `os/arch[/variant]` parsing previously inlined into multiple call sites.
### Behaviour preservation
The migration introduced several behavioural shifts vs the v25 client; all were caught in review and reverted/fixed in follow-up commits:
- `GetDockerClient`: cli v29's `Ping(NegotiateAPIVersion: true)` returns errors that the old `NegotiateAPIVersion` silently swallowed. Restored best-effort behaviour (warn-log + continue) so daemons with blocked `_ping` or API < 1.40 keep working. The SSH-helper `client.New` call no longer inherits `client.FromEnv`, matching the old `NewClientWithOpts(WithHost, WithDialContext)` so `DOCKER_API_VERSION`/`DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY` don't leak into the SSH-tunneled client
- `parsePlatform`: malformed input now returns an explicit error instead of silently dropping to "no platform constraint" and pulling the host-default architecture. Single-segment (`"linux"`), 4+-segment (`"linux/arm/v7/extra"`), and trailing-slash (`"linux/arm/"`) inputs are all rejected
- `LoadDockerAuthConfig`/`LoadDockerAuthConfigs`: `config.LoadDefaultConfigFile(nil)` panics on a malformed config file (it does `fmt.Fprintln` on the nil `io.Writer`). Switched to `config.Load(config.Dir())` so load errors reach the logger and the panic path is gone. Restored the old behaviour of returning `config.Load` and `GetAuthConfig` errors to the caller (the v29 refactor had silently downgraded them to warn-only). A `reference.ParseNormalizedNamed` failure on the image string falls through to the `docker.io` default rather than aborting, since the old string-based hostname extraction was infallible
Test assertions also updated for two upstream error-message string shifts (`go-connections` port-range parser; `cli/opts` envfile BOM check). Added unit-test coverage for the new `parsePlatform` helper, locking in the intentional limits (single-segment, 4+-segment, and trailing-slash platforms rejected).

Aligns runner log output more closely with `actions/runner`:
- Strip the whale, rocket, cloud, construction, chequered-flag, and exclamation-mark glyphs from log lines and drop the now-unused `logPrefix` constant.
- Reword `no outputs used step '%s'` → `No outputs registered for step '%s'` (the original was ungrammatical and inaccurate — it fires when `set-output` references an unknown step ID).
- Wrap the docker pull/network/create/start phase of job container startup in a `::group::Starting job container` / `::endgroup::` collapsible section, mirroring `actions/runner`. Since act drives Docker through the SDK rather than the CLI, we can't echo `##[command]/usr/bin/docker create ...` lines verbatim — instead the helper emits a summary inside the group:
```
::group::Starting job container
image: <image>
name: <container-name>
network: <network-name>
::endgroup::
```
- Extracted the emit into a `printStartJobContainerGroup` helper (parallel to `printRunActionHeader` in `step_run.go`) and added a golden-style test `TestPrintStartJobContainerGroupGolden`.
- Drive-by: replace two remaining literal `"raw_output"` strings in `run_context.go` with the existing `rawOutputField` constant.
