Summary
The YAML files generated through the UI (e.g., when creating a node on a branch) are now formatted identically to files written by hand in various repos that use yamlfix as a pre-commit hook. Previously, the server's ruamel.yaml output could diverge from what yamlfix (used as a pre-commit hook in deployment repos) would produce, causing spurious diffs on the first commit.
List fields (owners, tags, column attributes) were also serialized in arbitrary order, producing non-deterministic output across server restarts or DB query reorderings.
The fix sorts owners, tags, and column attributes alphabetically before serialization, then runs yamlfix (already a server dependency) on the output with
explicit_start=Falseandline_length=120, matching the standard repo config. Short lists now render inline (tags: [abc, def]) and multiline queries retain|-block style.Test Plan
