Fixes the failing GitHub Actions job
call-reusable-vale-workflow-in-riscv-vale-repo / runner / vale.Root Cause
Vale 3.x validates that the
StylesPathdirectory physically exists before proceeding. The.vale.iniconfiguresStylesPath = .github/styles, but that directory was not tracked in git (git does not track empty directories). When GitHub Actions checked out the repository, the directory was absent, causing Vale to abort immediately withE201 Invalid value.As a secondary consequence,
vale syncfell back to the global styles directory (/home/runner/.local/share/vale/styles) rather than the project-level.github/styles/, so the downloaded packages were not available to the subsequent lint run.Changes Made
.github/styles/.gitkeep: Added to ensure theStylesPathdirectory is tracked by git and present on checkout. This allows Vale's directory validation to pass and causesvale syncto correctly install packages into.github/styles/..gitignore: Added.github/styles/*and!.github/styles/.gitkeepto prevent Vale's downloaded style packages from being accidentally committed to the repository while preserving the.gitkeepfile.
