A sweep appended a `K9-SVC Validation` step at two-space indentation —
the level of a job key under `jobs:` — instead of the six spaces that
would place it inside a job's `steps:` list. YAML then hits a sequence
item where it expects a block mapping, and the whole file fails to
parse.

Actions rejects a workflow that does not parse *before* allocating a
runner, so this workflow has produced no check run and no log since the
step was added. It has not been running at all.

The signature is worth recognising: the run is listed by FILE PATH
rather than workflow name, `gh run view --log-failed` returns "log not
found", and `gh pr checks` shows nothing, because a parse-rejected
workflow creates no check run. Only `gh run list --json conclusion`
reveals it.

Fix: re-indent the step and its body by four spaces so it sits inside
the job's `steps:` list. Nothing else is changed — no action pins, no
permissions, no logic.

Estate-wide measurement (2026-07-27): this fault affects 49 workflow
files across 45 repositories, and every single one of them fails to
parse — 100%, not a sample. Compare the 12 files where the same step is
correctly indented, which is how the intended shape was determined.
Affected workflows are mostly instant-sync.yml (forge propagation),
plus boj-build.yml, casket-pages.yml, release.yml, cflite_pr.yml and
one codeql.yml.

Built with git plumbing directly against origin/HEAD, so no local
working tree was involved and no unrelated local changes are included.
