Research direction

Start in github.yaml around lines 74913 and 78096 and inspect each schema's properties and required lists. Verify whether each required name needs a property definition, and confirm whether the second occurrence should use tag instead of tags; done when the schema no longer reports either inconsistency.

Schema Inaccuracy

Image
  1. A required field at github.yaml:74913:7 is not defined in properties
  2. A required field at github.yaml:78096:15 is not defined in properties.

Expected

  1. Not sure if the property is missing or if the required field list is wrong.
  2. I'm pretty sure this is just a typo tags should be tag
