packaging was recorded in git as a submodule reference (mode 160000) pointing to a commit with no corresponding .gitmodules entry and no matching repository, so GitHub rendered it as an unresolvable submodule link instead of a normal folder. Converting it to a plain tracked directory so its contents (the vcpkg port files) show up and version normally on GitHub.
Now that packaging/bbalouki-itch/vcpkg.json is a normal tracked file (no longer hidden inside the broken submodule gitlink), the action's default '**/vcpkg.json' glob matches it too. That file is a vcpkg *port* manifest with no builtin-baseline field, and the action stops at the first match, so every job failed with "A Git commit id for vcpkg's baseline was not found nor in vcpkg.json nor in vcpkg-configuration.json". Pinning vcpkgJsonGlob to the root file disambiguates it.
