If following the permalink to Internet Archive the tarball itself is available for inspection. The wandering of the size column is viewable on my desktop host Debian 13 Trixie with tar (GNU tar) 1.35 and from some Linux shell accounts I have access to. I was able to reproduce this locally by creating an account named the same as it exists in the file listing from the tarball contents, and then re-creating the tarball with those user and group ownership attributes.

I've never noticed this before in 30+ years. The user and group ownership "runner/runner" from GitHub Actions CI/CD is the exact text character length to skew the column output justification, then?
