Fix GitHub Actions validation error caused by using the unavailable steps context in the top-level run-name of .github/workflows/beta.yml.
Description
Replaced the top-level run-name reference to steps.meta.outputs.short_sha in .github/workflows/beta.yml with the workflow-allowed github.sha, preserving the run-name format while removing the invalid context.
Testing
Verified the change with git diff -- .github/workflows/beta.yml, git status --short, and inspected the file with nl -ba .github/workflows/beta.yml, and confirmed the run-name no longer references steps (checks succeeded).
The fix properly addresses the GitHub Actions validation error. The steps context is unavailable at the workflow top-level, so using github.sha (which is workflow-level accessible) is the correct alternative.
Observations
Minor tradeoff: github.sha provides the full 40-character SHA vs. the 7-character short SHA from steps.meta.outputs.short_sha. This slightly changes the run-name appearance but is acceptable since there's no workflow-level equivalent for short SHA.
No bugs introduced: The workflow still correctly uses steps.meta.outputs.short_sha in job steps (lines 119, 123) where the steps context is valid.
Code quality: The change is minimal, focused, and solves the stated problem without side effects.
Verdict
✅ Approved - The PR correctly fixes the GitHub Actions validation error with a minimal, appropriate change.
