Gen AI suggestions to solve the build error:

• Detected Error: git clone --quiet [...] --branch=v8.0.0-198-ccs [...] https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka

• Error Category: Version

• Failure Point: Git checkout step failing to find the specified tag

• Root Cause Analysis: The tag format in the git checkout step doesn't match Confluent's actual tag format. The melange configuration is trying to use v8.0.0-198-ccs but Confluent typically uses a different tag format.

• Suggested Fix:

1. Modify the git-checkout step in the pipeline to use the correct tag format:

  - uses: git-checkout
    with:
      expected-commit: bc3392a9d98152178555aac956465d977065bb1c
      repository: https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka
      tag: ${{vars.mangled-package-version}}  # Remove the 'v' prefix

• Explanation: Confluent's Kafka repository typically doesn't use the 'v' prefix in their tags. The current configuration is trying to checkout 'v8.0.0-198-ccs' but the actual tag is likely '8.0.0-198-ccs'. Removing the 'v' prefix from the tag specification should allow the checkout to succeed.

• Additional Notes:

• Confluent uses a specific tagging format for their releases
• The var-transforms section is correctly handling the version mangling
• The update section already has strip-prefix: v configured, showing this is the expected behavior
