Description

What would you like added?

Currently, setting serviceAccountName on a RunnerSet does not mount a generated token from EKS when creating a runner; however it does do so when using a RunnerDeployment

Why is this needed?

I make heavy use of RunnerSet's ephemeral volume provisioning which is currently unavailable on RunnerDeployment's, making it a decision between supporting workspace volumes or IRSA capabilities

Research direction

Compare the RunnerSet and RunnerDeployment paths that handle serviceAccountName and generated EKS tokens, then trace how RunnerSet ephemeral volume provisioning is reconciled. Confirm the behavior against a Kubernetes RunnerSet using an IRSA role; done means the runner receives the generated token without losing ephemeral volume support.
