Description

Describe the bug
After upgrading our runner software from version 2.323 to version 2.325, we no longer see the inputs listed in the Set Up Job step of an actions workflow job. This makes is very difficult to troubleshoot quickly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Run and workflow using the workflow_dispatch trigger and check the logs for the "Set Up Job" step. You will find that the "Inputs" expandable is no longer there.

Expected behavior
There used to be an expandable "Inputs" table that would let you know how your inputs were interpreted at runtime.

Research direction

Reproduce a workflow_dispatch run on runner versions 2.323 and 2.325, then inspect the Set Up Job logs across macOS, Windows, and Linux. Compare whether the expandable Inputs table is present and identify the runner change responsible; done means inputs are again visible and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
