BDD Tests are failing due to Chrome session not being able to create on CI pipeline

Start with workflow.yml and the WebDriver settings in test.codecept.conf.js; run the npx codeceptjs command shown and inspect the hub/chrome service startup and session-creation logs. Done means the CI @store run creates a Chrome session and completes checkout verification without the WebDriver timeout.

What are you trying to achieve?

Running tests successfully on our GitHub action Runner : ubuntu-latest container. It was working all good but broke 8 days ago (14th oct 2021)

I tried investigating & observed both this docker images are updated on same date, but reverting them back to older version selenium/hub:: 3.141 & selenium/node-chrome:93.0 didn't helped, got same error attached below

hub:
        image: selenium/hub:latest
      chrome:
        image: selenium/node-chrome:latest

Note : Tests run fine on local machine with same configuration running on CI pipeline.

What do you get instead?
