The script text now passes through an extra preparation step before that check. The warning is unchanged.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis can change which workflow scripts load and which are skipped.\n\n- Area: Workflows\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
