Fix auto-tag workflow YAML (multi-line tag message broke literal block scalar)#78
Merged
Conversation
… line The previous version had a multi-line tag message inside `git tag -a -m "..."` where the inner lines started at column 1 of the file. YAML's `run: |` literal block requires consistent indentation - lines at column 1 broke out of the block scalar and confused the YAML scanner. Result: every run since PR #76 failed in 0s before any step could execute, with the API exposing the workflow file path as the workflow `name` (a tell that name parsing failed). Fix: collapse the tag message to a single line. The user-facing release notes are auto-populated by release.yml's `generate_release_notes: true` from the commit history between this tag and the previous one, so the tag annotation itself does not need to be elaborate. Validated locally with python yaml.safe_load - parses cleanly. The next push to main that touches plugin.json will fire the workflow and create the matching tag automatically.

Summary
The auto-tag workflow added in PR #76 has been failing in 0s on every push to main since it landed. Root cause: the tag message inside
git tag -a -m "..."spanned multiple lines, and the inner lines started at column 1 of the file. YAML'srun: |literal block requires consistent indentation - lines at column 1 broke out of the block scalar and confused the YAML scanner. Result: GitHub couldn't parse the workflow file (the API even exposed the workflownameas the file path, a tell that name parsing failed) and every run failed immediately before any step could execute.Fix: collapse the tag message to a single line. The user-facing release notes are auto-populated by
release.yml'sgenerate_release_notes: truefrom the commit history, so the tag annotation itself does not need to be elaborate.Test plan
