EdwardAngert · EdwardAngert · commit 6420b3f05a9b · 2025-04-23T00:33:50.000-04:00
- Move Vale installation to docs-setup action for better reusability
- Remove duplicate Vale installation step from shared action
- Add empty file check to Vale style checking for robustness
- Update workflow to conditionally install Vale based on input parameter
- Make Vale configuration more explicit with improved comments
- Ensure consistent use of pre-processed file lists
