I always try to put as little logic into CI-Runner-specific tooling as possible and rather have everything automated via the usual programming language build tooling, which you can run locally.

Makes me think of dagger.io (why can't techies come up with names outside of a dictionary?)

One of the frustrating things with Dagger is that you still have to set up your pipeline tool. Sure, you’re theoretically running the same thing local and remote, but it doesn’t remove much in the way of CI work. Azure stuff is (was?) less supported. And while the move away from CUE was the right one, there’s still a lot of CUE around.
