Action does not seem to work on `ubuntu-slim` runner

Start by reproducing the shown Tailscale action workflow on both ubuntu-latest and ubuntu-slim, comparing the daemon startup and status output. Read the workflow step and the action's ubuntu-slim handling; done means tailscale status succeeds on ubuntu-slim without repeated retries or a missing backend.

Using ubuntu-latest works, but ubuntu-slim causes the tailscale status to re-try until it fails.

Extract from workflow file:

    - name: Tailscale
      uses: tailscale/github-action@v4
      with:
        oauth-client-id: ${{ env.DEVOPS_GITHUB_TAILSCALE_TS_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID }}
        audience: ${{ env.DEVOPS_GITHUB_TAILSCALE_TS_AUDIENCE }}
        tags: tag:github-actions
        ping: devops-prod

output partially redacted:

Run tailscale/github-action@v4
  with:
    oauth-client-id: ***
    audience: ***
    tags: tag:github-actions
    ping: devops-prod
    version: 1.94.2
    timeout: 2m
    retry: 5
    use-cache: true
