Description
see https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate
- It should only be triggered for failing jobs
- We should be able to select which job (https://github.com/mxschmitt/action-tmate/issues/121)
- Probably should limit access to the "actor" as this facility is unsafe as the ssh sessions probably have access to secrets

Research direction
Start with the repository's GitHub Actions workflow that invokes mxschmitt/action-tmate, then read the action documentation and upstream issue #121. The work is complete when tmate runs only for failing jobs, supports selecting a job, and restricts SSH access to the actor as far as the action permits.
