Renders the systemd unit for this plan.

§Why the sandbox is this tight, and what it costs

05-infrastructure.md item 2 ends “and write its configured cache and runtime directories — and no more”. ProtectSystem=strict plus an explicit ReadWritePaths is what “and no more” means on Linux: everything outside the four recorded directories is read-only to this unit.

The runner inherits it. The agent spawns the GitHub Actions runner as a child, so a workflow running on this host also runs inside this sandbox: it cannot write outside the four directories and its private /tmp, and NoNewPrivileges=yes means it cannot sudo. 07-security.md assumes a hostile workflow may run here, so that is the intended direction — but it is a real behavioural limit and docs/service-account.md states it where an operator will find it.
