patch

DEPRECATED - The TaskSpec.metadata and TaskSpec.baseUrl has been deprecated in favour of the new TaskSpec.templateInfo. The baseUrl is now found on the templateInfo object, and the name can be inferred from the templateInfo.entityRef property.

Usages of TaskSpec.metadata.name or ctx.metadata.name in Actions should migrate to using parseEntityRef(taskSpec.templateInfo.entityRef) to get the parsed entity triplet.

Usages of ctx.baseUrl in Actions should migrate to using ctx.templateInfo.baseUrl instead.
