I can see from the runner output that it is polling for the `arm` architecture, however, the platform section in your yaml specifies the `arm64` architecture. Since the architectures do not match, the pipeline does not get picked up by the runner and sits in a pending state.

```diff
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: feitdue

platform:
    os: linux
- arch: arm64
+ arch: arm

```
