I use that a lot with SourceHut: after a build fails, you have 10 minutes to SSH into the machine and debug from there. Also they have a very nice "edit manifest and run" feature that makes it easy to quickly test a change while debugging.

Are there other platforms allowing that? Genuinely interested.

Ah, that's like 90% of the way there, just need to enable so the SSH endpoint is created at the beginning, rather than the end, so you could for example watch memory usage and stuff while the "real" job is running in the same instance.

But great to hear they let you have access to the runner at all, only that fact makes it a lot better than most CI services out there, creds to SourceHut.
