This is a compelling idea, but it doesn't seem to work. Running it on a yml I'm working on currently, it skipped all my setup actions and then failed because the dependencies it needed weren't set up (why did you think I wrote them?) There doesn't seem to be a way to force-run a skipped step.

Thank you so much! Huge bug. Action steps (uses:) were silently skipped, which meant any workflow relying on setup actions would just fail. This should be fixed in v0.1.3. Action steps now pause instead of auto-skipping, and PipeStep offers to run a local equivalent when one exists. It also parses with: inputs, so setup-node with node-version: 18 actually installs Node 18 in the container. Currently supported: checko…

Friend. You gotta write your own comments. It feels so gross to get a response that’s so obviously from an llm, I would rather you not have replied to me at all. I will not be using your app.

Fully understandable, it's an AI minefield out there! I wrote everything except the technical summary of what I'd updated, just so you know...Claude only helped me there to explain what had changed.
