@pointlessone@status.pointless.one So I learnt today that the `<<: *foo` syntax (called a merge key) is only in YAML 1.1 (https://yaml.org/type/merge.html) and not YAML 1.2.
But seemingly a bunch of YAML 1.2 parsers include it, which is why I expected it to work.

@willhbr@ruby.social Yeah, it's annoying that YAML in a “minor”spec revision changed a lot and almost no parser actually specify what version they implement.
