Two issues fixed: 1. CI workflow: Added -run='^$' flag to skip regular tests during fuzzing 2. Fixed two fuzz test assertions that were too strict The fuzz tests were timing out because each fuzzing session was running all 1,614 regular tests in pkg/workflow first (11 times total). Adding -run='^$' skips regular tests and only runs the fuzz test corpus. Runtime improvement: ~6 minutes → ~2 minutes for all 13 fuzz tests Also fixed: - FuzzWrapExpressionsInTemplateConditionals: Removed overly strict assertions that failed on incomplete/malformed inputs (which is correct behavior) - FuzzSanitizeLabelContent: Increased max length threshold from 1.5x to 3x to account for backtick wrapping and HTML escaping Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>

The fuzz workflow was timing out at 5m48s because each
go test -fuzz=...command was executing all 1,614 regular tests inpkg/workflow/before fuzzing. With 11 fuzz tests in the package, this meant running the full test suite 11 times.Changes
CI workflow: Added
-run='^$'flag to skip regular tests during fuzzingtemplate_fuzz_test.go: Relaxed assertions that incorrectly expected incomplete expressions like{{#if github.to be wrapped (function correctly leaves malformed input unchanged)sanitize_label_fuzz_test.go: Increased max length threshold from 1.5x to 3x to account for backtick wrapping and HTML entity escapingImpact
Runtime: 6 minutes → 2 minutes (3x improvement)
