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.

`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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Pinned automated workflow actions to specific versions to improve build and deployment consistency.
    • Preserved existing workflow steps, configurations, notifications, and validation behaviour.
    • Added licensing metadata to one workflow.

Walkthrough

Five GitHub Actions workflows now reference immutable commit SHAs instead of mutable version tags or branch references. Version comments remain beside the pinned SHAs. Workflow step order, inputs, and guards are unchanged.

All changed action references now use commit SHAs. Version comments identify the equivalent release or branch. Existing workflow configuration remains unchanged.

The workflow pins two validation actions to commits not recorded by the managed lock; synchronize the generated lock before merge.

A rabbit pins each action tight,
With SHAs neat and comments bright.
No tags can hop or drift away,
The workflows keep their ordered way.
Three soft thumps for safer code!

Regenerate the managed workflow lock.

.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml is managed by gh actions-lock, and .github/workflows/actions.lock is machine-generated. The A2ML and K9 steps use SHAs that differ from the recorded lock entries. Run gh actions-lock to synchronise the workflow pins with the lock manifest. Do not edit actions.lock by hand.
