Explanation

To enable step debug logging in GitHub Actions, you set a secret or variable named ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG to the value 'true' at the repository, environment, or organization level. When this is set, each step in the workflow will output detailed debug information, including input/output values for actions. There is no --actions-step-debug CLI flag, and debug logging is not enabled through inline workflow YAML code blocks - it is controlled via the repository's secrets or variables settings.
