until three days ago, it wasn't throwing this error. My yml:

Oh that‘s odd, looks like a bug in the plugin itself in the current development version.
As a workaround you can use the @main version for now

This will be fixed in WordPress/plugin-check#453

[jcvignoli]

It has been fixed, thanks @swissspidy!
