feat: add capture-output input to prevent GHA memory limit failures#47
Merged
Conversation
Large deployments (e.g. Pulumi with many resources) can exceed GitHub Actions' memory limit when the full stdout is captured as a step output. This adds a `capture-output` input (default: true) that lets callers disable stdout capture when they don't need it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
capture-outputinput (default:true) that controls whether the command's stdout is captured as a step output$GITHUB_OUTPUT, avoiding the GitHub Actions memory limit error:Context
Large Pulumi deployments (e.g. Portal staging with 125+ events) produce enough output to exceed GHA's expression evaluation memory limit. The deploy succeeds but the workflow fails, which blocks downstream jobs like production deployment.
No existing consumers of this action use
outputs.stdout, so this is a safe default-on addition.Usage
