Stack overflow analyzing script snippets

This afternoon I was writing a inline PowerShell script in a GitHub Actions workflow whose intention is to lint the usage of PowerShell in GitHub Actions workflows (♾), and while testing it locally with a slightly modified version I found I hit a stack overflow that terminated my pwsh session in Windows Terminal.

I can't reproduce it in GitHub Actions itself for some reason, but I can on my own laptop.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/martincostello/github-automation/commit/5563b3cf300d4931704249525361f5cd510255d3
2. Run lint.ps1

Expected behavior

The script runs successfully.

Actual behavior

Linting actions/dotnet-release/action.yml...
Linting actions/dotnet-upgrade-report/action.yml...
Linting actions/dotnet-version-report/action.yml...
Linting actions/get-dotnet-repos/action.yml...
Linting actions/get-rebase-repos/action.yml...
Linting actions/get-sdk-repos/action.yml...
Linting actions/is-dotnet-change-available/action.yml...
Linting actions/lint-workflow-powershell/action.yml...
Linting .github/workflows/acr-housekeeping.yml...
Stack overflow.
