Description

The program-classification-validator workflow has a Checkout repository step with no uses or run. GitHub Actions requires every step to have one, so it rejected the workflow as invalid (the "This run likely failed because of a workflow file issue" error) and every run failed before doing anything. The step was a no-op anyway; its own comment notes no checkout is needed for a github-script-only workflow, so I removed it. Validate classification is now the first step.

Related Issue

No existing issue; this is a CI fix for the failing workflow.

Program Classification

  • General Contribution

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • CI / configuration

How to Test

  1. Run actionlint .github/workflows/program-classification-validator.yml.
  2. Before this change it reports step must run script with "run" section or run action with "uses" section at the Checkout repository step and exits non-zero.
  3. After removing the step it exits 0 with no errors.
  4. Once merged, the workflow parses and runs on new pull requests instead of failing immediately.

Checklist

  • My code follows the project's existing style
  • I have tested my changes in a browser (not applicable; CI workflow change, validated with actionlint)
  • I have linked the related issue above (no issue exists)
  • My PR title follows Conventional Commits format
  • I have not introduced any new dependencies or build tools

The 'Checkout repository' step had no uses or run, which is invalid and
made GitHub reject the workflow (workflow file issue), so every run
failed before executing. Removed the empty step; the github-script step
does not need a checkout.

A rabbit skips the checkout gate,
The script runs swift and straight,
Labels bloom and comments stay,
Validation hops along its way,
No extra step to slow the day.
