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

    • Pinned automated build, test, release, deployment, and security-scanning tools to verified revisions across the project workflows.
    • Improved protection against unexpected changes in third-party automation dependencies.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected the package-lockfile validation workflow so it loads and runs reliably.
    • Lockfiles are now blocked as intended, while approved package metadata files remain allowed.
  • CI Improvements

    • Rust, Deno, Ada, Elixir, Nim, JavaScript, and documentation checks continue using their existing validation behaviour with more reproducible automation.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates GitHub Actions workflow references across multiple repositories. Most changes replace mutable tags or branches with full commit SHAs and retain version comments. It also changes selected Rust toolchain inputs and updates the npm lockfile blocking workflow.

Remove the duplicate with mappings without changing the compiler toolchain. Duplicate with keys can fail workflow validation.

  • In compiler-source, remove the newly added toolchain: master mapping. Keep the existing mapping with ${{ steps.rust-version.outputs.version }}, targets, and components. Merging master would change the existing Cargo-derived toolchain selection.
  • In validator.yml, merge toolchain: stable and components into one with mapping.

These changed references pin retired v3 artifact actions. GitHub no longer supports the v3 artifact actions on GitHub.com since 30 January 2025, so the SHA pins do not prevent these jobs from failing. Use matching v4 full commit SHAs at every upload and download site. (github.blog)

GitHub Actions uses renamed repository redirect action repository documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
GitHub Actions does not support redirects for actions or reusable workflows [1][2][3]. If a repository hosting an action is renamed or transferred, any workflows referencing the action by its previous name will fail with a "repository not found" error [1][4][2]. Official GitHub documentation explicitly advises against renaming repositories that host actions [4][3]. If a repository must be renamed, the recommended approach is to create a new repository and action with the new name and archive the old repository [1][2][3]. Because GitHub does not automatically redirect these calls, maintainers who rename their repositories often create a "wrapper" repository at the old location to maintain compatibility [5]. This wrapper typically emits a warning to users and forwards inputs to the new repository, allowing existing workflows to continue functioning while users migrate to the new reference [5].

Use this action instead: - `ghcr-manager/ghcr-cleanup-manager` - Marketplace - Repository ## Why this repo still exists GitHub will not redirect calls to an action hosted by a renamed repository. This wrapper exists so workflows using `ghcr-manager/ghcr-manager` keep working and can still receive version updates through tools like Dependabot. The wrapper action only: - emits a GitHub Actions warning telling users to migrate - forwards all action inputs to `ghcr-manager/ghcr-cleanup-manager` - republishes matching wrapper releases for `ghcr-manager/ghcr-cleanup-manager` releases ## Migration Change your workflow from: ```yaml - uses: ghcr-manager/ghcr-manager@v1 ``` to: ```yaml - uses: ghcr-manager/ghcr-cleanup-manager@v1 ``` The wrapper exposes the same inputs as the new action. ## Notes - This wrapper is intentionally minimal. - New documentation and ongoing development live in `ghcr-manager/ghcr-cleanup-manager`. - The old repo may be retired after a transition period.

Update the action repository path.

The SHA exists in hyperpolymath/deed-validate-action, but this workflow names the renamed repository. GitHub Actions does not follow repository redirects for actions, so this step can fail with repository not found. Retain the SHA and update only the repository path.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-829 — Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere

Pin the nested actions used by alire-project/setup-alire.

The pinned composite action invokes mutable tags: actions/cache/restore@v4, actions/setup-node@v4, and actions/cache/save@v4. Use a setup-alire revision or trusted fork with SHA-pinned child actions. Extend the validator to inspect composite action manifests.
