📄 Description

When a reusable workflow calls another local workflow using relative paths (uses: ./.github/workflows/...), act was incorrectly looking for the nested workflow in the caller's repository instead of the reusable workflow's repository.

This fix ensures that local workflow references are resolved relative to the reusable workflow's location by passing the correct working directory to the reusable workflow runner.

Fixes https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/1875
