yaml_tab_indent

A policy diagnostic from deedglass policy lint and the policy routes.

Severity: error

A line is indented with a tab. YAML does not allow tabs for indentation, and a tab can look like any number of spaces in an editor, so Deedglass reports every such line. In the snippet below, line 5 starts with a tab.
