Error thrown in consuming workflows regarding JSON output values quotes

Describe the bug

Quotes in a reusable workflow's JSON output value is triggering an error in consuming workflows.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a reusable workflow with input and outputs, one of the output being this JSON value:
    outputs:
      images:
        value: '{"gcp": "${{ contains(inputs.registries, ''gcp'') && jobs.setup.outputs.gcp_image || '''' }}", "ecr": "${{ contains(inputs.registries, ''ecr'') && jobs.setup.outputs.ecr_image || ''''  }}"}'
  1. Use the first workflow in another workflow:
  build:
    uses: acme/actions/.github/workflows/build.yaml@v1
  1. See the following errors in the 2nd workflow file, but at the line number from the 1st workflow file:
Unexpected symbol: 'gcp'''. Located at position 31 within expression: contains(inputs.registries, ''gcp'') && jobs.setup.outputs.gcp_image || '''' [Ln 72, Col 26]
Unexpected symbol: 'ecr'''. Located at position 31 within expression: contains(inputs.registries, ''ecr'') && jobs.setup.outputs.ecr_image || '''' [Ln 72, Col 120]

Expected behavior

The 1st workflow does not throw any errors when being run in Github Actions runners, so I'd expect no errors to be printed by this extension.

Extension Version

v0.27.1
