[lint-monster] function-length refactoring backlog (682 findings)

[github-actions]

Daily custom lint summary

Current make golint-custom run reports 682 function-length (largefunc/long-function) findings across pkg/workflow and pkg/cli. Per repo policy this is tracked as one shared topic: function-length refactoring.

Affected areas

• pkg/workflow/** — bulk of backlog
• pkg/cli/** — additional long-function findings

Representative diagnostics

• pkg/workflow/maintenance_workflow_yaml.go:35:6: buildMaintenanceWorkflowYAML is 961 lines long (limit: 60)
• pkg/workflow/frontmatter_on_section_cleanup.go:13:20: commentOutProcessedFieldsInOnSection is 695 lines long (limit: 60)
• pkg/workflow/engine.go:197:20: ExtractEngineConfig is 410 lines long (limit: 60)
• pkg/workflow/awf_helpers.go:225:6: BuildAWFCommand is 355 lines long (limit: 60)
• pkg/cli/add_workflow_resolution.go:70:6: ResolveWorkflows is 250 lines long (limit: 60)
• pkg/cli/audit_report.go:262:6: buildAuditData is 200 lines long (limit: 60)

Expected outcome

Reduce the backlog by extracting cohesive helpers while preserving behavior and tests. Prefer small, targeted refactors over broad rewrites.

Remediation checklist

• Pick a narrow slice in one file and split one oversized function into cohesive helpers or focused files
• Keep edits scoped to function-length findings only for the selected slice
• Preserve public behavior and existing interfaces unless a small internal helper extraction is enough
• Prefer many small files/helpers over growing a monolithic file further
• Run make golint-custom after the change and confirm the targeted finding count drops

Next suggested slices

• pkg/workflow/maintenance_workflow_yaml.go
• pkg/workflow/frontmatter_on_section_cleanup.go
• pkg/workflow/engine.go
• pkg/workflow/awf_helpers.go
• pkg/cli/add_workflow_resolution.go
