Description
Since ActionChain publishing uses Jinja the types for published variables are not preserved and everything gets a string representation.
Fix either by switch all this to YAQL or some other post-jinja magic.

Research direction
Start by tracing ActionChain publishing and its Jinja-based variable rendering. Compare the current behavior with YAQL or another available post-Jinja approach, using published variables of non-string types to reproduce the conversion. Done means published variables retain their original types rather than becoming string representations.
