Description
Gitlab has a nice feature where you can easily create a custom executor, it's documented here https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/custom.html.
This allows one to easily support custom container runtimes such as podman, plain runc, singularity, or whatever container runtime you can think of.
At its core, gitlab gives you a script.sh with all the commands for a job, and you are supposed to make it execute somewhere.
Is such a feature possible with github as well? It would be incredibly useful for clusters where you would have e.g. slurm + rootless containers instead of kubernetes/docker.

Research direction
Start with the linked GitLab custom-executor documentation and compare its model with the GitHub Actions runner described by this repository. No repository file, test, or entry point is named; done would require a concrete scope for supporting Slurm with rootless or other custom runtimes, plus a way to validate that design.
