How to check in a post-step if any of the previous steps have failed?

[plengauer]

I have a custom action (node) executed via a runner and a post-step to clean up after itself. The post step needs to know if any of the previous steps have failed. It always needs to do its cleanup (so i cannot use the post-if) but the cleanup looks slightly different if its a failed job. So how do I do that best?

I've tried using the API (which is hard because its (1) lagging and (2) the job correct job is not easily identifiable. It also doesnt seem to be available in the context. So i wonder if i can in any way get this information via the runner? or some data of the runner? Happy to contribute also if this is not available and deemed useful.
