Description
Hi,
For some reason since yesterday, whenever Github Action ran, they'll failed on the first attempt, but will always succeed on the second attempt.
The error message:
Error: Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' under '/data/workflow_dir/_actions/actions/checkout/v2.4.0'. Did you forget to run actions/checkout before running your local action?
Would be lovely if anyone can help, thanks! :)

Research direction
Start with the workflow run logs and the failing path /data/workflow_dir/_actions/actions/checkout/v2.4.0; compare the first failed attempt with the succeeding retry. The issue does not name a source file or test, so investigate how the checkout action is made available before local actions run. Done means the first workflow attempt consistently finds the action manifest or Dockerfile.
