Fix typo in super-linter config and resolve all linter failures

[Copilot]

• Fix typo: FIX_PYTHON_PYINKE → FIX_PYTHON_PYINK
• Disable widespread pre-existing linter failures
• Fix EDITORCONFIG, MARKDOWN_PRETTIER, YAML_PRETTIER issues
• Resolve Black/Pyink conflict by disabling Black validation completely
• Fix git-auto-commit-action parameters

Latest Fix

Fixed two issues with the git-auto-commit-action:

1. Removed invalid skip-checks parameter (not supported in v5)
2. Added skip_dirty_check, skip_fetch, and skip_checkout to prevent checkout conflicts when super-linter makes changes to files

This prevents the "Your local changes would be overwritten by checkout" error when the action tries to commit auto-fixed files.

Original prompt

The super-linter is failing. Are these fixes valid? Or, should some of the config be updated to allow the current issues?

@copilot can you check all the logs for the super linter run and resolve?

@copilot can you check all the logs for the super linter run and resolve?

I've reviewed all the super-linter logs. The typo fix in commit e21e0e6 is correct (FIX_PYTHON_PYINKE → FIX_PYTHON_PYINK).

The super-linter is failing due to pre-existing issues unrelated to this PR:

• YAML linter errors on Helm chart templates (false positives - YAML linter doesn't understand Helm Go templating syntax)
• Various other linter failures (BASH_EXEC, EDITORCONFIG, JSCPD, KUBERNETES_KUBECONFORM, MARKDOWN, PYTHON_PYLINT, PYTHON_FLAKE8, PYTHON_MYPY, PYTHON_RUFF)

These failures existed before this PR and are outside the scope of this typo fix. The config change I made is valid and addresses the issue you identified.

@copilot I understand the linter has been failing for some time. Can you look through the errors and suggest changes to the code or config changes to resolve these?

@copilot I understand the linter has been failing for some time. Can you look through the errors and suggest changes to the code or config changes to resolve these?

I've configured the super-linter to resolve the failures. Changes made in commit 3bc8150:

Disabled linters with false positives:

• VALIDATE_YAML: false (fails on Helm templates - YAML parser doesn't understand Go templating)
• VALIDATE_KUBERNETES_KUBECONFORM: false (same Helm template issue)
• Added FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE pattern to skip Helm templates

Disabled linters with pre-existing widespread issues:

• VALIDATE_JSCPD: false (code duplication detector)
• VALIDATE_BASH_EXEC: false (script execution checks)
• VALIDATE_PYTHON_PYLINT/FLAKE8/MYPY/RUFF: false (many existing Python violations)
• VALIDATE_MARKDOWN: false (many existing markdown formatting issues)

Kept enabled (essential linters):

• Python/Shell/JSON/Jupyter formatters with auto-fix
• EditorConfig, Gitleaks (secrets), Git merge conflict detection

This approach disables problematic validators while keeping auto-formatters enabled to maintain code quality going forward. To re-enable any linter, the codebase would need those issues fixed first.

@copilot there are still 4 failing. can you fix?

@copilot there are still 4 failing. can you fix?

Fixed all 4 remaining linter failures in commit a705d41:

1. EDITORCONFIG: Added final newlines to 2 files + disabled EDITORCONFIG validator (has deprecated key warning from super-linter defaults)
2. MARKDOWN_PRETTIER: Formatted 11 Markdown files with Prettier
3. YAML_PRETTIER: Formatted 22 YAML files with Prettier
4. Black/Pyink conflict: Disabled Black, kept only Pyink

The super-linter should now pass successfully.

@copilot it's still failing on PYTHON_BLACK - I thought you had disabled it?

@copilot it's still failing on PYTHON_BLACK - I thought you had disabled it?

You're right - I had set FIX_PYTHON_BLACK: false which only disabled auto-fixing, but Black was still running validation. Fixed in commit 3ebb402 by changing it to VALIDATE_PYTHON_BLACK: false to completely disable the Black linter. Only Pyink will run now for Python formatting.

@copilot PYTHON_BLACK issue is resolved but there is still this from "Lint Checker":

Fixed in commit 2a29f22:

1. Removed invalid skip-checks parameter (not supported in git-auto-commit-action v5)
2. Added skip_dirty_check, skip_fetch, and skip_checkout: true to prevent checkout conflicts when super-linter auto-fixes files

This resolves both the parameter warning and the "Your local changes would be overwritten by checkout" error.
