# WHY exit 1, not exit 0: this step is a GUARD, and `exit 0` makes
# it SUCCEED. The merge steps below gate only on
# `steps.metadata.outputs.update-type`, never on this step's
# outcome, and Actions skips a later step only when an earlier one
# FAILS -- so a zero exit printed a refusal and then merged anyway.
