butane: add --yaml-doc-separator flag - #2319
Conversation
Prepend the standard YAML document separator (---) to MachineConfig output when requested, so transpiled configs can be concatenated into multi-document YAML streams or consumed by tools that expect an explicit document start marker.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughButane adds an option and CLI flag that optionally prefix generated YAML with ChangesYAML document separator
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new flag is opt-in, but adding it to the exported options type can cause downstream Go callers using unkeyed struct literals to stop compiling after upgrade. Merge readiness depends on preserving source compatibility or explicitly accepting and documenting this breaking change. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Preserve source compatibility for TranslateBytesOptions. common.TranslateBytesOptions is exported, and adding YAMLDocumentSeparator can make downstream unkeyed composite literals fail to compile. Use a backward-compatible API for this option or document the breaking change.

Add an optional
