We've long had YARD setup for code-level documentation, but without a linter it's quite hard to know if we're using it at all, let along doing a good job of it.
Last year, YARD-Lint was published and it's worth trying out to see if it'll work well for us. The hope is that by using GitHub Actions, we'll expand the existing code level docs and be able to verify along the way if they're useful for people.
This takes the default configuration at the time of committing (which finds a lot of errors). We run it in a new linting workflow, but only comparing to main.

After reading the announcement blog post properly today, I'm curious how this might help our code-level documentation. Last year, when using Administrate on a more involved application, I referred to the code docs frequently, so I'm hopeful it'll be helpful. If I run it against the project with that configuration, we get a lot of warnings and errors, which is going to be a bit of a journey to fix: Details
