Fast way to identify self-hoster runners

[lociko]

Currently, Gato-X uses workflow files and logs to identify self-hosted runners.
The GitHub Insights panel contains information about runners: GitHub Insights.

We can use this to create a faster and more reliable way to identify self-hosted runners.
Then, when we determine that a runner is self-hosted, we can dig into the logs to find out whether it is ephemeral or not.

What do you think?

Oh, that's very cool! I was not aware the new insights page revealed so much information to public viewers!

So it doesn't look like there is an API for this, but it requires a valid web session. It’s probably do-able to build a scraping tool to capture this by parsing the web page using a session cookie.

Perhaps a standalone tool to pre-filter a list of repositories? I don’t think it would be a good fit to add it to gato-x without it feeling forced.
