Description

On a monorepo with the following frogbot-config.yml (names redacted with *) :

- params:
    git:
      repoName: test-scan
      branches:
        - main
    scan:
      projects:
        - workingDirs:
            - apps/***/***
            - apps/***/***
            - apps/***/***
            - apps/***/***
            - apps/***/***
            - apps/***/***
        - pathExclusions:
            - "*node_modules*"
            - "*target*"
            - "*venv*"
            - "*test*"
            - "*analytics*"

I get the following errors at the end:

Research direction

Start with the frogbot-config.yml project settings and reproduce the monorepo scan using the listed workingDirs and pathExclusions. Trace the repository-scan path that creates or checks out the reported frogbot-* branches; done means the scan completes without duplicate-branch errors and creates the expected pull requests.
