Could not determine new digest for update (github-tags package pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish)

Contributor guide

Research direction

First, locate the Renovate configuration file (likely renovate.json or .github/renovate.json) in the repository. Check how the `pypa/gh action pypi publish` action is matched and if digest update is disabled. Review the Renovate logs or local run to see the exact error. The issue may require adding a custom manager or adjusting the `automerge` or `digest` settings. Additionally, ensure the action uses a version tag format that Renovate can resolve (e.g., v1.2.3 instead of just a digest). If unclear, ask the maintainer for more details.
