Description

What would you like added?

The ability to define topology spread constraints in the values.yaml for actions-runner-controller configuration.
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Note: Feature requests to integrate vendor specific cloud tools (e.g. awscli, gcloud-sdk, azure-cli) will likely be rejected as the Runner image aims to be vendor agnostic.

Why is this needed?

To have a better control on how the pods are scheduled and managed once deployed (can allow for higher uptime and reliability)

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

The chart has an affinity variable already added. So I think it should be defined in a very similar manner.

Research direction

Locate the Helm chart's values.yaml and the existing affinity setting, then trace how affinity is rendered into the runner pod specification. Follow that pattern for topology spread constraints and verify the rendered chart accepts the new values. Done means users can configure the constraints through values.yaml and they appear in the generated pod spec.
