Runners go offline mid-job and leave jobs hanging or failed #20

Description

@Mearman

Runners in the exadev-runners scale set are dropping mid-job. GitHub then shows the runner as offline but still busy, and the job either hangs past its timeout or is failed with no log uploaded.

Seen today on ExaDev/Exie, both times during the Run checks step (pnpm run check, which takes under a minute locally):

Exie's CI has not had a green run on main since 2026-08-26.

The fleet host (100.81.26.32) shows as offline in tailscale status, last seen about three hours before these runs, so I couldn't check the pods. Worth checking on the host: kubectl get events -A for OOMKilled or evicted runner pods, the node's memory headroom while a pnpm run check job runs, and whether the host is sleeping or losing its network.
