Workflow Structure & Linting
Linting GitHub Actions Workflow Files (.github/workflows)
CI/CD pipeline workflows stored in .github/workflows/*.yml require exact syntax and mapping rules. Our GitHub Actions YAML validator checks for mandatory trigger events (including the notorious unquoted "on": boolean trap), valid runner environments (runs-on: ubuntu-latest), and sequential step execution syntax.
