This documents an easy to make mistake regarding howto require a resource from the action's source. When a relativepath is used, the CWD is the workflow's not the compositeaction's. This surfaces to calling workflows as a`MODULE_NOT_FOUND` error.

This documents an easy to make mistake regarding how to require a resource from the action's source. When a relative
path is used, the CWD is the workflow's not the composite action's. This surfaces to calling workflows as a
MODULE_NOT_FOUNDerror.With respect to the code-sample, ideally we'd use the
github.action_path(or soon,github.host-workspace) context in our example. But untilactions/runner#2517 is completed, at this time it's safer to useprocess.env.GITHUB_ACTION_PATHwhich is correct regardless of how the action is invoked.
