Description
My self hosted runner run behind a http proxy which has a limited network speed to github.
Every time a job start run, it download all actions even it has been downloaded before(saved at actions-runner/_work/_actions), and cost a lot of time.
is there a way to use action exist at actions-runner/_work/_actions instead of download from github every time?

Research direction
Start by examining how the self-hosted runner handles actions stored in actions-runner/_work/_actions and when it downloads them from GitHub. Determine whether previously downloaded actions can be reused across jobs without breaking action updates; done means jobs use the existing cached actions instead of downloading them every time.
