Would a tool like act help here? (https://github.com/nektos/act) I suppose orchestration that is hiding things from different processor architectures could also very well run differently online than offline, but still.
That's correct and it's linux-only (as of the last time I looked), you can run it on macOS but you can't run macOS runners (which is where I need the most help debugging normally, for building iOS apps).
It's generally very helpful - someone else mentioned here the fundamental problem is lack of a tight feedback loop. It doesn't perfectly replicate the GH environment, but for my use case that doesn't matter and it's super nice to have.
