Description

Some workflows run frequently, e. g. building the project is done usually every commit, but releases are done less often. If Kotlin script and YAML diverge, the moment when the user learns about it is at the moment the workflow runs. It then requires patching.

An alternative approach would be to proactively check consistency for all supported workflows, as often as possible, then it would speed up detecting any issues. It could even allow disabling consistency check during workflow runtime.

Rough idea: provide utilities that generate a workflow for calling just the consistency checks of all workflows.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing consistency checks for supported workflows and the workflow-generation entry points. Define how a generated workflow would invoke all checks and how runtime checks could be disabled; done means the consistency of all supported workflows can be checked proactively without requiring each workflow to run.
