# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json
# GitHub Actions: workflows triggered by repository events. "Usage limits, billing, and
# administration" gives 20 concurrent jobs on the Free plan, a 6 hour job limit on GitHub-hosted
# runners and a 35 day workflow run limit; "Managing environments for deployment" makes required
# reviewers an optional protection rule, so no approval gate exists out of the box.
