Carefully review GitHub Actions workflow configurations to prevent subtle errors that can cause CI/CD pipeline failures or unexpected behavior:

1. Ensure correct syntax in workflow triggers, especially avoiding nested quotes in branch names: ```yaml

   Incorrect

   branches:

   • ‘“canary”’

Correct

branches:

• “canary” ```

1. Always provide explicit IDs for steps that will be referenced by subsequent steps: ```yaml

   Missing ID that will cause reference failure

   • name: ‘Deploy to Cloud Run’ uses: ‘google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@v2’

Correct with ID

• name: ‘Deploy to Cloud Run’ id: deploy uses: ‘google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@v2’ ```

1. Use appropriate conditions for workflow execution, considering job skip scenarios: ```yaml

   May cause issues when dependency is skipped

   if: $

More robust handling of skipped jobs

if: $ ```
