What changes are you suggesting?
[possible bug]
workflows triggered by workflow_run do not work if the workflow name contains characters like [ ]
for example:
name: "[foo] parent"
on:
push:
branches:
- "main"
paths:
- cloud/**
.
.
.
this parent workflow should trigger the child workflow
name: "[bar] child"
on:
workflow_run:
workflows:
- "[foo] parent"
branches:
- main
types:
- completed
.
.
.
but it doesn't trigger the child workflow,
removing [foo] from the workflow name makes it work
