fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #119
Conversation
…0.1.6) `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.

Align SHA-pin validation with gh actions-lock.
hooks/validate-sha-pins.sh scans every workflow and rejects this tag reference because it is not a 40-character SHA. The hook does not read .github/workflows/actions.lock or exempt workflows managed by gh actions-lock. If installed as a pre-commit hook, it can reject commits containing this workflow and other managed workflows with tag references.
Update the hook to honour actions.lock or skip workflows managed by gh actions-lock. The repository does not show a hook registration, so the current tree does not establish that commits are blocked.

Make SPDX validation recognise the gh actions-lock header.
gh actions-lock places its management comment before the SPDX line. The workflow linter reads only line 1, so the SPDX step can fail for every workflow and prevent the lint job from passing. hooks/validate-spdx.sh has the same first-line requirement. Update both checks to ignore management comments and validate the first remaining header line. Do not move SPDX to line 1 as a target-only fix because it conflicts with the generated workflow layout.

official gh actions-lock documentation lockfile validation case normalization workflow ref
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The official GitHub Actions lockfile format is defined and managed by the github/actions-lockfile project, which provides the authoritative schema and Go parser [1][2]. The lockfile, typically located at .github/workflows/actions.lock, is a YAML document used to record and verify resolved dependency pins for GitHub Actions workflows [1][3]. Regarding your specific technical questions: Case Normalization: In the official actions-lockfile implementation, dependency keys (in the format OWNER/REPO@REF) are canonicalized by being lowercased during parsing [4]. This ensures that lookups are casing-agnostic [4]. However, workflow path keys are not canonicalized, as file paths are treated as case-sensitive [4]. Lockfile Validation: The actions-lockfile parser performs structural validation, which includes rejecting unknown top-level keys and ensuring required fields are present [4]. It also includes logic to reject zero values (e.g., blank strings or invalid formats) for critical fields like commit SHAs [4]. The gh-actions-lock CLI tool is the primary producer of these lockfiles and handles the generation and verification process [2][3]. It performs checks to ensure that: - Every resolvable action is pinned to a verified commit SHA [3]. - The recorded SHA exists within the specified ref to prevent forgery [3]. - Repository identity is recorded to block redirects and mismatches at runtime [3]. Note that while the lockfile is used by the gh-actions-lock CLI for auditing and verification, it is not natively read by the GitHub Actions runner itself; runtime enforcement relies on the pins defined within the workflow files [3][5]. Development of these tools is ongoing, and the schema and behavior may evolve [1][3].

Synchronise both Bogdanp/setup-racket references with actions.lock.
The workflow uses Bogdanp/setup-racket@v1.9.1, but actions.lock records bogdanp/setup-racket@v1.15. Action keys are case-normalised, but the version reference remains different. This mismatch can make gh actions-lock validation reject the workflow. Run gh actions-lock after choosing the intended version, rather than editing actions.lock by hand.
