2 arguments required, but only 1 is mandatory in GHA code

Description

I'm trying to use the apko-publish action, with almost all fields using default values, like:

      - uses: distroless/actions/apko-publish@main
        with:
          # Config is the configuration file to use for the image build.
          # Optional, will use .apko.yaml without a defined one.
          # config: .apko.yaml
          # Tag is the tag that will be published.
          # Required.
          tag: ${{ env.IMAGE_TAG }}
          # Image Refs is the path to a file where apko should emit a newline
          # delimited list of published image digests.
          # Optional, will use a temporary file when unspecified.
          # image_refs: foo.images
          # Enable debug while testing
          debug: true
          generic-user: ${{ env.ACR_USERNAME }}
          generic-pass: ${{ secrets.ACR_PASSWORD }}

From what I can see in the apko-publish/action.yaml file the only required parameter is tag, but when running it, I get the following error:

Error: requires at least 2 arg(s), only received 1
2023/04/26 09:45:07 error during command execution: requires at least 2 arg(s), only received 1

The complete run log shows like this:

Any advice for how I can (try to) debug it further, or any tips of how to use it properly ?

@jdolitsky may know the answer to this.

i believe your input for tag: is probably incorrect. This input name is probbaly bad on our part, but its not meant to be something like "latest" or "1.2.3", but the full image ref (e.g. ghcr.io/myorg/myrepo:latest)
