Valid CLA signature comments with trailing whitespace or surrounding Markdown currently never reach the normalized action matcher because the workflow gate requires exact equality.

This makes only the signature gate permissive. The recheck command remains exact, and the action still decides whether a single normalized line is a valid signature, so quoted or instructional text does not sign the CLA.

Related matcher fix: ultralytics/actions#894

Validation:

  • actionlint .github/workflows/cla.yml
  • npx prettier@3.8.5 --check .github/workflows/cla.yml

🛠️ PR Summary

Made with ❤️ by Ultralytics Actions

🌟 Summary

Updated the CLA workflow gate to accept comments containing the normalized CLA signature text, including comments with surrounding whitespace or Markdown.

📊 Key Changes

  • Replaced exact signature-comment equality with a contains() check in .github/workflows/cla.yml.
  • Kept the recheck command’s exact-match behavior unchanged.
  • Preserved validation of the normalized signature by the downstream action, so surrounding or instructional text does not independently sign the CLA.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

  • Valid CLA signature comments are now allowed to reach the action matcher when wrapped in trailing whitespace or surrounding Markdown; recheck behavior is unchanged.

Reviewed the complete .github/workflows/cla.yml diff. The signature gate now admits comments containing the canonical phrase while preserving the exact recheck condition, matching the stated behavior. No genuine issues found. LGTM.
