Research direction

Start by inspecting the action entry point that handles the provided publish: false configuration and the AWS Lambda update path. Reproduce the behavior with the shown function_name and zip_file settings, then verify that the action updates LATEST without creating a new published version.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to not have a new lambda version published when the action runs. Instead, I am trying to have LATEST updated. I set the publish argument to false, but a new version keeps on being populated in aws.

      with:
        function_name: ds_cicd_test
        zip_file: ./lambda_files/lambda_files.zip
        publish: false
