Pull request overview
Adds scalar “shorthand” forms for YAML !reference and !reference-all tags so they can be used directly with a string value (e.g., !reference "file.yaml"), and updates the README spec-status badge.
Changes:
- Add scalar shorthand custom tag resolvers for
!referenceand!reference-all. - Replace the previous “illegal on scalar” behavior for these tags with shorthand parsing.
- Update README spec badge version/link.
