 It's important to note that Tekton does not perform any processing on the contents of results; they are emitted
 verbatim from your Task including any leading or trailing whitespace characters. Make sure to write only the
 precise string you want returned from your `Task` into the `/tekton/results/` files that your `Task` creates.
