## What this fixes

On the GitHub Actions run page, log lines for a currently active step are not visible: completed steps show all their lines, but for the active step only newly streaming lines appear, and lines emitted before the page loaded are missing until the step finishes.

## The fix

This was a product limitation, not a config error, and it was shipped: GitHub released the UI improvements (April 2024 changelog) that fixed log viewing for active steps, confirmed on the thread. If you are seeing this on the current UI, refresh and check for any ongoing incident; older runner versions are unaffected either way since this was a web UI change.

## Why it happens

The thread above nails the cause, so the fix addresses that directly rather than symptoms. Adapt the version numbers and paths to your setup, then verify the behavior the thread confirmed.
