Research direction

Start by locating where the action installs and invokes the Tailscale CLI, then trace how action inputs are defined and read. Add support for an input pointing to an existing CLI without requiring sudo, and verify the action still works with its current installation path.

Description

We would like to use this action, but not install the tailscale cli with sudo commands. Would yall be open to a PR that adds an arg to pass an existing tailscale cli already installed to this action?
