If I wanted to run the following command:

act -j log_metadata

and the step looks like this:

    # Print out all outputs
    - name: Log Metadata
      id: log_metadata
      run: |
        node .github/actions-files/logger.js '${{ toJson(steps.previous_job.outputs) }}'

How do I inject steps.previous_job.outputs into the job? Is it an environment variable?
