Root Cause AnalysisPrimary Error: Analysis: Proposed Fix
Next Steps
Automated failure analysis - Attempt #1 |
doc-audit.yml failed to register and produced a startup_failure on every push
(jobs=0, "workflow file issue"). The github-script `script:` block scalar was
malformed: the createComment body used a backtick template literal whose
`${report}` line sat at column 0, terminating the block scalar and making the
workflow YAML unparseable (ScannerError). Inline the body as a single
`\n\n`-separated line so it stays within the block scalar indentation.
Also fix the invalid JavaScript escape `\!` -> `!` in the two early-return
guards (`if (\!fs.existsSync(...))`, `if (\!report.trim())`), which would
throw a SyntaxError if the comment step ever executed.
Validated with yaml.safe_load (on: [pull_request], jobs: [audit]).

What
Fix the
Documentation Auditworkflow (.github/workflows/doc-audit.yml),which fails with a
startup_failureon every push.Change type: fix(ci) — workflow file only.
Why
The workflow YAML is unparseable, so GitHub cannot register it and records a
startup_failure(jobs=0) for every push event — a persistent red mark acrossall branches since the file was added.
Root cause: in the
Comment on PRstep'sactions/github-scriptscript:block scalar, the
createCommentbody is a backtick template literal whose${report}line sits at column 0. That line is less-indented than the blockscalar, so YAML treats it as a new mapping key and fails
(
ScannerError: could not find expected ':'). A secondary defect: the twoguard lines use the invalid JS escape
\!instead of!.Where
.github/workflows/doc-audit.yml:`## Documentation Audit Report\n\n${report}`(keeps it inside the block scalar).if (\!fs.existsSync(...))/if (\!report.trim())->!(valid JS).How (verification)
yaml.safe_loadnow parses the file (on: [pull_request],jobs: [audit]).After merge, push events no longer create
startup_failureruns, and theaudit runs as intended on PRs touching
docs/**,README*.md, orCLAUDE.md.This same template defect exists across the kcenon repos; the fix is applied to
each. (The identical file on
mainshould receive the same fix via the nextrelease-merge.)
