Research direction

Start by locating the to_yaml() implementation and reproduce the issue with a value around 2500 characters in a YAML file. Check the generated output around the key and colon; done means the long token remains on the same line as its key and remains usable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For long values updated in a yaml file it seems that an unexpected new line is added between key and value (after colon):

  devid: xxxxyxyxyx-9eeeee-412ae-8342-2c6436dsrff
  token: 
    v^1.1#i^1#p^3 ...............................XX==  (2500 characters!)

The expected format is

  devid: xxxxyxyxyx-9eeeee-412ae-8342-2c6436dsrff
  token:  v^1.1#i^1#p^3 ...............................XX==

Because of the newline the token is unusable.
