What article on docs.github.com is affected?
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#inputs-context
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
environment type should be added to the list of allowed types.
This type had been in the list of allowed types before #25435 was opened and it was considered as a typo of "number". The environment type is indeed not listed in the table of all available types in the inputs context documentation, but it is used in an example in the on.workflow_dispatch.inputs documentation, and in real world applications as mentioned by @nathanchapman in this comment.
Therefore, I don't think this is a typo, but a miss in the documentations linked above, and would like it to be added back to the documentations.
Someone familiar with the action runner code could also clarify whether the environment type is allowed, or is it about to be removed.
