What article on docs.github.com is affected?
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
ACTIONS_RUNNER_PRINT_LOG_TO_STDOUT is not documented in the GitHub Actions documentation and should be clearly described along with examples of how and where to set it. If jobs.<job_id>.environment is the correct place to set it, then it should be added there. If not, then it should be added in the appropriate article and place.
From https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/891#issuecomment-1398565763, "As of v2.300.0, setting ACTIONS_RUNNER_PRINT_LOG_TO_STDOUT to 1 or true will also print the logs to stdout in addition to the logfile."
ACTIONS_RUNNER_PRINT_LOG_TO_STDOUT may be something that supports the use cases described by many users in the following issues: https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/886, https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/891, https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/2131 and the following discussions: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35363, https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/44250. Without documentation of ACTIONS_RUNNER_PRINT_LOG_TO_STDOUT, it's hard to know what it is meant to do, what exactly it will output or how to use it.
