Documented steps
Resolve the run id from GET https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs (workflow_runs[].id) or from the Actions UI.
GET https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/jobs with `Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>` and `Accept: application/vnd.github+json`.
Response jobs[] items include id, name, status, conclusion, head_sha, run_id, and steps[] with per-step name/status/conclusion.
Paginate large results with `per_page` (max 100, default 30) and `page`.
To inspect a particular re-run attempt, GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs/{run_id}/attempts/{attempt_number}/jobs instead.
Known gotchas
Requires read access; for private repos a classic PAT needs `repo` scope or a GitHub App needs `actions:read`.
`conclusion` stays null while a job is still `in_progress` - check `status` first before reading the conclusion.
This list endpoint returns job summaries; use the per-job endpoint for full step timings and runner info.
