Bug: New "Format yaml array sections" toggle puts single Date value into array

See original GitHub issue

Describe the Bug

With the new “Format YAML Array” and “Format yaml array sections” rules, a single non-array date value in the YAML is getting converted into an array. I do not understand why!

How to Reproduce

In “Settings” -> “Linter” turn on the first toggle under “Format YAML Array” and the “Format yaml array sections” toggle. Run the linter on the following:

---
date: 2022-08-14
tags: []
---

Result is:

---
date: [2022-08-14]
tags: []
---

This breaks all my dataview queries that use the date field, since they expect it to be a Date and not an array.

Expected Behavior

No changes made by linter. Expected output:

---
date: 2022-08-14
tags: []
---

I have a fix for this. It will hopefully go out in a release soon. I would like to be able to release it with another bug fix if possible to avoid making a release for just one bug fix however I may end up releasing it today anyways as it is a bug fix for a new rule.

I did manage to find another bug which was reported by someone else. I will merge it in and plan to release this evening. Hopefully this will make it so bugs are kept to a minimum and get addressed more quickly while allowing time to add FRs.
