@jsoref commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2023):

The way act and github's runners works is different, act is configured such that it has a terminal.

It's basically the difference between:

(github)

cat /dev/null | sh -c 'cat'

and (act)

sh -c 'cat'

It's certainly possible to change the behavior of the docker world, but it's been this way for as long as I can remember (I've tripped on it).
