+name: Select runner
+
+# Picks the `runs-on` label for a caller's Linux jobs: GitHub-hosted while
+# GitHub Actions is operational, the org self-hosted runner when it is not.
+#
+# How it decides, in order:
+#   1. Fork pull requests always get `primary`. Fork code must never execute on
+#      a machine the org owns.
+#   2. If the caller repo (or org) defines the Actions variable
+#      CI_RUNNER_OVERRIDE, its value is used verbatim. Set it to `self-hosted`
+#      to exercise the fallback path on demand, or to `ubuntu-latest` to pin
+#      hosted runners if the status page misreports. Delete it to return to
+#      automatic selection.
+#   3. Otherwise the public GitHub status page is consulted. `fallback` is
+#      returned only when the Actions component reports `partial_outage`,
+#      `major_outage`, or `under_maintenance`. Everything else, including
+#      `degraded_performance` and an unreadable status page, returns
+#      `primary`. Degraded means slow-but-working, and one self-hosted box
+#      serialising every run is slower than that; treating "unknown" as
+#      healthy means a network problem on the self-hosted box does not
+#      silently route every run onto it.
+#
+# This job itself runs on `fallback`. That is the only runner that can be
+# expected to pick up work when hosted runners are down, so every workflow
+# that adopts this selector makes the self-hosted runner a hard dependency.
+# One org runner exists today; concurrent runs serialise on it. Keep this job
+# short.
+#
+# There is no native `runs-on` fallback in GitHub Actions. An array of labels
+# is an AND match, not an ordered preference, and a job whose labels match no
+# online runner sits queued for 24 hours before failing. This selector plus
+# the `runner` input on every org reusable is the supported substitute.
+#
+# Caller example:
+#   jobs:
+#     select-runner:
+#       uses: Sea-Haven-Industries/.github/.github/workflows/callable-select-runner.yaml@<sha> # vX.Y.Z
+#     ci:
+#       needs: select-runner
+#       uses: Sea-Haven-Industries/.github/.github/workflows/ci-terraform.yaml@<sha> # vX.Y.Z
+#       with:
+#         runner: ${{ needs.select-runner.outputs.runner }}
+#     own-job:
+#       needs: select-runner
+#       runs-on: ${{ needs.select-runner.outputs.runner || 'ubuntu-latest' }}
+#
+# The self-hosted runner needs curl and jq for this job, and whatever the
+# downstream jobs need (python3, shellcheck, Node/Python tool-cache access,
+# Chromium system libraries, and so on). Steps that use `sudo` on
+# ubuntu-latest must branch on the selected runner.
