Step Summary - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A step summary lets a job publish formatted Markdown (tables, links, results) to the run summary page.
A step summary is Markdown written to the $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY file during a job, which GitHub renders on the run summary page for that workflow.
Appending to the file referenced by $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY is the supported way to surface test results or deploy details without scraping logs.
