The readme says it’s proprietary code that’s free to use during a “preview”.

Odd to be so tied to GitHub for proprietary code.

GitHub is one of the most readily accessible sources of parasitic compute resources.
"Parasitic compute" is strange way to describe "a user running dev workflows on their own GitHub Actions allocation"

when you run ghost, it creates a "ghostbox" - an ephemeral machine on your GitHub account, on your GitHub actions minutes, accessible only by your SSH identity. It's orchestration around GitHub's infra.

Proprietary software built on GitHub is not exactly an unusual category.
