+## ARC with Docker-in-Docker (DinD)
+
+Actions Runner Controller (ARC) deployments that use a Docker-in-Docker sidecar split the runner container and the Docker daemon container across separate filesystems, so bind mounts constructed from the runner's perspective fail inside the daemon.

+`gh aw compile` emits a runtime probe in generated workflows that inspects `DOCKER_HOST` and appends `--docker-host-path-prefix /tmp/gh-aw` to the AWF invocation when the value matches `tcp://localhost:<port>` or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>`. No workflow-level configuration is required.
+
+The probe is gated on AWF `v0.25.43` or newer. Workflows pinned to an older AWF version, or running on GitHub-hosted runners (where `DOCKER_HOST` is unset or points at a Unix socket), are unaffected.
