Describe issue

Hi all 👋

I stumbled upon this behaviour, which I think might be a bug - given the following step:

- name: Step referencing action
  uses: actions/checkout@v4
  id: checkout
  env:
    FOO_VAL: ${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}
  if: ${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}

The inputs default value is set as expected when evaluating the expression for setting the FOO_VAL environment variable:

[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] expression '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}' rewritten to 'format('{0}', inputs.bar == 'baz')'                                                                                                 
[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] evaluating expression 'format('{0}', inputs.bar == 'baz')'                                                                                                                                
[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] expression 'format('{0}', inputs.bar == 'baz')' evaluated to '%!t(string=true)'
# ...
[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] setupEnv => map[ ... FOO_VAL:true ]

This is not the case when the step execution conditional is interpreted:

[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] evaluating expression '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] expression '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}' evaluated to 'false'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] Skipping step 'Step referencing action' due to '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}'

This results in the step being skipped.
I'd expect the expressions to be interpreted the same way.

This is by the way only the case for the step referencing an external action, the run step right below is executed.

I've referenced a repo where this behaviour can be reproduced.

[Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] setupEnv => map[ ... FOO_VAL:true ] ``` This is not the case when the step execution conditional is interpreted: ```shell [Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] evaluating expression '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}' [Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] expression '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}' evaluated to 'false' [Testworkflow/test] [DEBUG] Skipping step 'Step referencing action' due to '${{ inputs.bar == 'baz' }}' ``` This results in the step being skipped. I'd expect the expressions to be interpreted the same way. This is by the way only the case for the step referencing an external action, the `run` step right below is executed. I've referenced a repo where this behaviour can be reproduced. ### Link to GitHub repository https://github.com/philipreinken/20241023-2007-debug-act ### Workflow content ```yml --- #
