Description
#684 added /github/file_commands to the list of volumes available in the Runner. I cannot find any documentation about this volume, or any documentation with a list of volumes mounted that includes file_commands.
I request documentation on all mounted volumes: their names and what they contain and/or are to be used for. From the code at https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/8279ae9a709dd2df948171d4bc87cf45d4879090/src/Runner.Worker/Handlers/ContainerActionHandler.cs#L171-L174
it appears the following volumes are available (I would like documentation on each one):
- /github/home
- /github/workflow
- /github/file_commands
- /github/workspace
If such documentation already exists, please provide direct hyperlinks to it.

Research direction
Start with src/Runner.Worker/Handlers/ContainerActionHandler.cs at the referenced lines and verify the four listed mounted volumes: /github/home, /github/workflow, /github/file_commands, and /github/workspace. Document each volume's name and contents or intended use, and provide direct links if equivalent documentation already exists.
