Excellent coverage.

Add language specifier to code block.
The ASCII diagram code block is missing a language specification, which violates markdown linting rules (MD040).
Apply this diff to add a language tag:
-```

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In tools/GitHub-Actions/README.md around lines 42 to 79, the ASCII diagram code
block lacks a language specifier (MD040). Fix by updating the opening code fence
to include a language tag (e.g., change ``` to ```plaintext) so the block starts
with ```plaintext and leave the rest of the block unchanged.
