   • What: research a GitHub Actions uses: variant — reportedly uses: $/path/in/same/repo — that always resolves to the action/workflow in the running repo rather than the calling repo (unlike uses: ./path/to/thing).
   • Where it stopped: not started. Issue body is a pasted work-Slack note with a truncated docs.github.com link (ends in "…") — the specific docs section it cites is not captured anywhere in the issue and is unclear from available evidence.
   • First step: search the GitHub Actions workflow-syntax docs for the uses: reference forms (local path, Docker, tag) to find and confirm the exact syntax the Slack note meant, since the linked section wasn't preserved.
