Deployment fails when running via CI/CD from github to webapp

Question

I hadn't changed any thing in terms of requirements in my code. I am suddenly getting failed deployment on my azure web app.

Also I included instructions to update pip in the .gihub folder under workflow. It doesn't seem to be following those as well.
