Yaml blocks not caught as dependencies

How are you running Renovate?

A Mend.io-hosted app

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

Not self-hosting.

Please tell us more about your question or problem

Yaml files (GH actions in my use case) with blocks are not getting dependencies captured.

Example here, also used in minimal reproduction:

steps:
  - name: Checkout
    uses: |-
      actions/checkout@v4

YAML can be a bit of a pain when doing this sort of thing. The same dependency with | instead of |- will preserve the line break from the block, that can be included in the dependency (GitHub actions don't like this way of passing the version, but one could argue GH is not great at following YAML spec either)

Logs (if relevant)

The lines are skipped and no logs shown for them, just ignored as irrelevant part of a file.

why are you doing this at all? 🤔

Discovered it because of a linting error in a long line. The difference is only 6 characters, but the linter doesn't complain if the line is too long but there's a single string with no spaces in it.
