Gitlab Web IDE Interactive Terminal not working

Question

I've setup the Gitlab Runner with the following settings -

[session_server]
  listen_address = "0.0.0.0:8093"
  advertise_address = "winged-poring.projecthorizon.onl:8093"
  session_timeout = 1800

Setup the gitlab-webide.yml file -

# .gitlab/gitlab-webide.yml
terminal:
  tags: 
    - Linux
  before_script:
    - echo "Starting the Project Horizon Web IDE Terminal..."
    # Add any setup commands here, e.g., installing dependencies
  script:
    - sleep 600 # Keep the terminal open for 10 minutes. Adjust as needed.

When I click on Terminal > New Terminal in the Web IDE, nothing happens. It says - "The Terminal is not available for the Web IDE" Is it deprecated or am I not doing something right?

I haven't tried anything out of the norm. It doesn't work simply and there aren't many explanations on the web to make something out of it.

I can find this functionality in an old version of the docs, but not in the most recent.

The docs also state the following,

The Web IDE, however, lacks a native runtime environment where you could compile code, run tests, or generate real-time feedback.

but it seems that workspaces offer similar functionality.
