runner.execution-launch-azure-vm

Launch one runner execution on an Azure Virtual Machine

Overview

Property	Value
Workflow type	Linear
Library	App-runners-azure
Version	1.0

Input Schema

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
runner_group_uuid	uuid	Yes	—	Runner group UUID
organization_uuid	uuid	No	—	Organization UUID
runner_execution_uuid	uuid	No	—	Existing execution UUID to reuse
command	json	No	—	Command to run (generic mode)
environment	dict	No	—	Extra environment variables for the runner. Marked sensitive so SensitiveDataMiddleware vaults the map instead of persisting it in cleartext state_data (SECRET-HANDLING-001). Two residual exposures remain, so avoid credentials here: the value reaches the VM custom-data payload, and the outbound scheduled-transition/Kafka input_data copy still carries cleartext until the engine's input_data redaction writer is enabled. Key Vault-backed secret env for VM runners is still not wired up.
github_workflow_run_ref	integer	No	—	GitHub Actions run id for correlation; sent by runner.dispatch-from-job-queued on the legacy direct-launch path.
actor_uuid	string	No	—	Actor attribution forwarded by the dispatcher; audit-only.
