   Turns out that not only do Actions runners come with jq preinstalled, but yq is there too.

   There was a featured snippet for “is yq available on GitHub actions,” which directed me to a marketplace installer. The yq project itself had a marketplace installer. Clearly, I needed to install it before using it. Right?

   My colleague George Gastaldi looked at what I’d done, and pointed out yq was available on the runners. This matters, because we try and limit our use of external, ‘non-official’ actions, for supply chain security reasons.

   So I searched again to confirm, and … still found very little. To actually confirm, I had to merge and experiment. And, indeed, the GitHub runners do come with yq pre-installed. They’ve had yq since 2021.
