ruff 0.16.0 (released 2026-07-23) stabilized `ISC004` `implicit-string-concatenation-in-collection-literal` out of preview. https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#stabilization https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/implicit-string-concatenation-in-collection-literal Since `ruff` is unpinned in `dependency-groups.dev` and `pyproject.toml` selects the whole `ISC` family, the `Linters` job now fails on `master` and on every open PR with 7 errors in `tests/test_cli.py` and `tests/test_config.py`. Master's last green run was 2026-07-20, three days before the release. This applies the rule to the 7 affected sites by parenthesizing the concatenations. Where the extra indentation would have pushed a line past the 79-column limit, the enclosing `assertEqual(...)` call is wrapped instead of re-splitting the strings, so **every string literal is byte-identical to `master`** — verified by comparing all `ast.Constant` string nodes before and after (435/435 in `test_cli.py`, 539/539 in `test_config.py`). Verified locally with ruff 0.16.0: `ruff check`, `flake8`, `doc8`, `rstcheck`, `yamllint --strict` and `make -C docs html` all clean, and `python -X warn_default_encoding -W error::EncodingWarning -m unittest discover` passes 432 tests. Separately, you may want to consider upper-bounding `ruff` in `dependency-groups.dev` so that a ruff release can't turn unrelated PRs red — but that's a policy call, and the `style: Apply ruff rule X` history suggests you may prefer riding latest.

yamllint
========
A linter for YAML files.
yamllint does not only check for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key
repetition and cosmetic problems such as lines length, trailing spaces,
indentation, etc.

Documentation

https://yamllint.readthedocs.io/
Overview
--------
Screenshot
^^^^^^^^^^

:alt: yamllint screenshot
Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Using pip, the Python package manager:
.. code:: bash
pip install --user yamllint
yamllint is also packaged for all major operating systems, see installation
examples (``dnf``, ``apt-get``...) `in the documentation
<https://yamllint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html>`_.
Usage
^^^^^
.. code:: bash
# Lint one or more files
yamllint my_file.yml my_other_file.yaml ...
.. code:: bash
# Recursively lint all YAML files in a directory
yamllint .
.. code:: bash
# Use a pre-defined lint configuration
yamllint -d relaxed file.yaml
# Use a custom lint configuration
yamllint -c /path/to/myconfig file-to-lint.yaml
.. code:: bash
# Output a parsable format (for syntax checking in editors like Vim, emacs...)
yamllint -f parsable file.yaml

Features
^^^^^^^^
Here is a yamllint configuration file example:
.. code:: yaml
extends: default
rules:
# 80 chars should be enough, but don't fail if a line is longer
line-length:
max: 80
level: warning
# don't bother me with this rule
indentation: disable
Within a YAML file, special comments can be used to disable checks for a single
line:
.. code:: yaml
This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long # yamllint disable-line
or for a whole block:
.. code:: yaml
# yamllint disable rule:colons
- Lorem : ipsum
dolor : sit amet,
consectetur : adipiscing elit
# yamllint enable
Specific files can be ignored (totally or for some rules only) using a
``.gitignore``-style pattern:
.. code:: yaml
# For all rules
ignore: |
*.dont-lint-me.yaml
/bin/
!/bin/*.lint-me-anyway.yaml
rules:
key-duplicates:
ignore: |
generated
*.template.yaml
trailing-spaces:
ignore: |
*.ignore-trailing-spaces.yaml
/ascii-art/*
