This pull request adds important documentation about how Runner selection works when referencing Jobs from other projects. It clarifies that the Runner used is determined by the parent project's configuration, which can impact execution flow.

Documentation update on Runner selection:

  • Added a warning to job-plugins/node-steps/builtin.md explaining that when a Job is referenced from another project, the Runner is selected based on the parent project's Runner Selection setting, not the referenced Job's project. It details the behavior for both Automatic and Manual selection modes.
