fix(low-code): handle all ScannerError exceptions in ConfigComponentsResolver

Summary

This PR fixes a bug where custom GAQL queries containing tab characters (\t) would cause discovery to fail with a YAML ScannerError. The _parse_yaml_if_possible method in ConfigComponentsResolver was only catching ScannerError exceptions containing the % character, but re-raising all other ScannerError types.

The fix simplifies the exception handling to catch all ScannerError exceptions and return the original value unchanged, which is consistent with how ParserError is already handled.

Root cause: When strings containing tab characters are passed through yaml.safe_load(), YAML raises a ScannerError because tabs cannot start tokens in YAML. The previous code only handled the % character case.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify broader exception catching is safe: The change catches ALL ScannerError exceptions now instead of just the % character case. Confirm this won't mask legitimate YAML errors that should be surfaced to users.
• Run the full test suite for test_config_components_resolver.py to ensure no regressions
• Consider edge cases: Are there other ScannerError scenarios that should be tested beyond % and tab characters?

Recommended test plan:

1. Run pytest unit_tests/sources/declarative/resolvers/test_config_components_resolver.py -v
2. Optionally test with a Google Ads connector config containing tab-indented custom GAQL queries

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a bug in the ConfigComponentsResolver where YAML ScannerError exceptions caused by tab characters in configuration values (such as custom GAQL queries) would cause discovery to fail. The fix extends the exception handling in _parse_yaml_if_possible to catch tab-related ScannerError exceptions in addition to the existing % character case.

Key changes:

• Extended ScannerError exception handling to include tab character errors
• Added test case for tab character scenario
• Updated inline comment to reflect broader coverage

The pattern of checking specific error message strings and returning value for each case suggests a fragile approach. According to the PR description's root cause analysis, the intent is to catch ALL ScannerError exceptions since they indicate values that cannot be parsed as YAML. The current implementation still only catches two specific cases. Consider simplifying to except ScannerError: return value which would be more maintainable and align with the PR's stated goal of 'catch all ScannerError exceptions'.

Suggested change

	except ScannerError as e: # "%Y-%m-%d" or strings with tabs - not valid YAML
	if "expected alphabetic or numeric character, but found '%'" in str(e):
	return value
	if "found character '\\t' that cannot start any token" in str(e):
	return value
	raise e
	except ScannerError: # any ScannerError means not valid YAML
	return value
