fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs

The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at
startup — startup_failure, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflows
could not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the
ref in a trailing comment, e.g. actions/checkout@<sha> # v4.

dtolnay/rust-toolchain takes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained an
explicit with: toolchain: input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.

No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security and Maintenance
    • Pinned CI/CD workflow actions to immutable commit versions, improving build reproducibility and reducing the risk of unexpected action changes.
    • Preserved the existing workflow behaviour and documented action release versions.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces mutable GitHub Actions release tags with immutable commit SHAs across validation, deployment, analysis, release, and notification workflows. Existing version comments and workflow logic remain unchanged.

Synchronise the notification action lock record.

The uses: reference selects 22e7bdb322c430c1d0dac6b3bb307f4bb139d0be, but the retained authority comment identifies the distinct v0.2.0 lock record. This makes actions.lock unable to attest the action revision that this workflow executes. Add or update the v0.3.0 lock entry for this SHA, then update the authority comment to match it.

The supplied lockfile context identifies only the v0.2.0 record and SHA.

`actions.lock` is authoritative: the workflows carry readable refs and the lock records the
commit each ref resolves to, which is what actually runs. Refs that stop matching the manifest
make the whole repository unstartable — `startup_failure`, "Invalid lockfile".

Regenerated with the official extension (`github/gh-actions-lock`). The hand-pinned SHA refs are
reverted to their readable form here precisely because the lockfile, not the workflow, is what
pins them.
