UltimateCoderandClaude Opus 5.5 b7cbbe7b7b fix: handle file paths with spaces

xargs split paths on whitespace, so sed failed on files like
'..._Removed MediaType Enum.cs' (exit 123). Pass the file list
NUL-separated and only rewrite files containing {{BUILD_VAR_.
A repo without any placeholder no longer fails on grep's exit 1.

replace-build-vars

Composite action for Gitea Actions. Replaces {{BUILD_VAR_*}} placeholders in every text file of the checkout (excluding .git) with build information. It's a plain in-place text replace that works with any language. No inputs.

Usage

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: https://git.custom-coding.net/templates/replace-build-vars@v1

Step-level uses: must be the absolute URL. Gitea resolves short refs against github.com.

Placeholders

Placeholder	Value
`{{BUILD_VAR_COMMIT_SHA_SHORT}}`	first 7 chars of `GITHUB_SHA`
`{{BUILD_VAR_BUILD_DATE}}`	UTC, ISO 8601: `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`
`{{BUILD_VAR_REF_LABEL}}`	`pr-<n>` for pull requests, otherwise `GITHUB_REF_NAME` with `/` → `-`. This matches the docker-build image tag.
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_SHA}}`	`GITHUB_SHA`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_REF_NAME}}`	`GITHUB_REF_NAME`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_REF_TYPE}}`	`GITHUB_REF_TYPE`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_REPOSITORY}}`	`GITHUB_REPOSITORY`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER}}`	`GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_RUN_ID}}`	`GITHUB_RUN_ID`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER}}`	`GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_RUN_ATTEMPT}}`	`GITHUB_RUN_ATTEMPT`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_RETENTION_DAYS}}`	`GITHUB_RETENTION_DAYS`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_SERVER_URL}}`	`GITHUB_SERVER_URL`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_EVENT_NAME}}`	`GITHUB_EVENT_NAME`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_BASE_REF}}`	`GITHUB_BASE_REF`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_HEAD_REF}}`	`GITHUB_HEAD_REF`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_ACTION_REF}}`	`GITHUB_ACTION_REF`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITHUB_ACTION_REPOSITORY}}`	`GITHUB_ACTION_REPOSITORY`
`{{BUILD_VAR_GITEA_ACTIONS_RUNNER_VERSION}}`	`GITEA_ACTIONS_RUNNER_VERSION`

Values are inserted into a sed expression with | as delimiter, so a value that contains | breaks the replace.

Versioning

Only major tags (v1, v2, …). Fixes and new placeholders move the existing tag. Renaming or removing a placeholder, or changing a value's format, needs a new major tag.

History before the move: UltimateCoder/resuable-workflows (actions/replace-build-vars).
