Use prefix increment ((++VAR)) instead of postfix ((VAR++)). With postfix increment, when VAR=0, ((VAR++)) returns the old value (0), which in bash means exit status 1. With set -e, this exits the script. Prefix increment returns the new value (≥1), so exit status is always 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changes
Fix bash arithmetic causing script failure in
sync-project-status.yml.The Bug:
With postfix increment
((VAR++)), when VAR=0, it returns the old value (0). In bash,((0))means exit status 1 (failure). Withset -e(GitHub Actions default), this exits the script.The jq "broken pipe" error in the logs was a symptom - the real cause was the while loop exiting unexpectedly, leaving the jq process feeding it with a broken pipe.
The Fix:
Use prefix increment
((++VAR))which returns the new value (≥1), so exit status is always 0.Fixes: https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing/actions/runs/21625516269
