Action runtime setup utilities.

This module provides utilities for preparing action runtime (invocation) environments, both in hosted execution and local development contexts.

## Module Contents

### log

```python
roboto.action_runtime.prepare.log
```

`from roboto.action_runtime.prepare import log`

### prepare_invocation_input_data()

```python
def roboto.action_runtime.prepare.prepare_invocation_input_data(
    requires_downloaded_inputs: bool,
    input_data: Optional[roboto.domain.actions.InvocationInput],
    target_directory: pathlib.Path,
    download_directory: pathlib.Path,
    inputs_data_manifest_file: pathlib.Path,
    roboto_client: roboto.http.RobotoClient,
    roboto_search: roboto.roboto_search.RobotoSearch,
)
```

`from roboto.action_runtime import prepare_invocation_input_data`
