FIX: quote glob in linkcheck.yml so the workflow file parses#333
Merged
Conversation
`args: **/*.html` is invalid YAML (a plain scalar cannot start with `*`, the alias indicator), so GitHub has been logging a 0-second "workflow file issue" failure for this file on every push to every branch since #249. Quoting the glob restores a parseable workflow; the lychee invocation itself is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Fixes an invalid YAML scalar in the link checker workflow by quoting a glob pattern that begins with *, ensuring .github/workflows/linkcheck.yml parses correctly so GitHub Actions no longer reports a “workflow file issue” failure on pushes.
Changes:
- Quote the
argsglob passed tolycheeverse/lychee-action(**/*.html→"**/*.html") to make the workflow valid YAML.

Summary
One-character fix:
args: **/*.html→args: "**/*.html"in.github/workflows/linkcheck.yml.The unquoted glob is invalid YAML — a plain scalar cannot begin with
*(the alias indicator) — so the workflow file fails to parse. Since #249, GitHub has been logging a 0-second "workflow file issue" failure named.github/workflows/linkcheck.ymlon every push to every branch, includingmain(visible in the Actions tab as a long row of failed runs with no jobs).The lychee invocation itself is unchanged; the workflow still only runs on its weekly schedule and
workflow_dispatch.Verified locally with
yaml.safe_load— the file now parses.cc @mmcky since this touches CI config.
