I get the following issue at the next run during the checkout.

The deployment folder belongs to root and it is mounted inside the container action-promote. The checkout step tries to remove it but it fails because of permission issue.

Error: File was unable to be removed Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/home/me/actions-runner/_work/repo/repo/deployment/.git/objects/09/643f57ac3c6dbde3c0f3db67f589fdd597d6f8'

A good example is from the yq action Dockerfile https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/blob/master/Dockerfile

RUN set -eux; \
  addgroup -g 1000 yq; \
  adduser -u 1000 -G yq -s /bin/sh -h /home/yq -D yq

RUN chown -R yq:yq /workdir

USER yq

I will try to add the user in the Dockerfile and wire a contribution if tests work

We should definitely figure out a fix here that both satisfies Github's demand for root users in containers and fixes these issues.
