Subject: [PATCH] ci: remove setup job and fix debug flag propagation

The setup job was broken: it wrote to $GITHUB_ENV instead of
$GITHUB_OUTPUT, so the debug flag never reached other jobs.
It also compared runner.debug to "true" when the actual value
is "1". Remove the job entirely and evaluate runner.debug inline
in each step that needs it, removing ~30s of startup latency from
all downstream jobs.
