Pull request overview
Fixes a GitHub Actions workflow YAML parsing failure caused by bash heredoc terminators (EOF) appearing at column 1 inside run: | block scalars, which can prematurely terminate the YAML block and prevent the workflow from loading/triggering.
Changes:
- Replaces
gh pr comment --body-file - <<EOF ... EOFheredocs with--bodyusing aCOMMENT_BODYshell variable to avoid YAML indentation conflicts. - Updates multiple PR-comment sites in the workflow (parking PRs, restore/retarget, failure paths) to use the new string construction approach.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Heredocs (<<EOF...EOF) inside YAML run: | blocks had their EOF terminators at column 1, which the YAML parser interprets as ending the block scalar. This caused the entire workflow file to fail parsing, silently preventing issue_comment events from triggering the workflow since commit a4bd60a. Replace --body-file heredocs with --body using shell variables, which avoids the YAML indentation conflict entirely. Signed-off-by: Brett Mastbergen <bmastbergen@ciq.com>

its so wild to me to see printf rather than echo or just the string.
