What This Template Does
Step 1: Triggers automatically on GitHub push or pull_request events. 🔄
Step 2: Fetches both configuration files (config/app-config.json and faq-config.json) from the repository. 📂
Step 3: Uses GPT-4o-mini to compare configurations and detect mismatches, missing keys, or deprecated fields. 🧠
Step 4: Categorizes issues by severity—critical, high, medium, or low—and generates actionable recommendations. 🚨
Step 5: Logs all discrepancies to Google Sheets for tracking and audit purposes. 📑
Step 6: Sends Slack alerts summarizing key issues and linking to the full report. 💬
