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

  • Chores
    • Pinned GitHub Actions to immutable commit references across build, deployment, analysis, release, and notification workflows.
    • Preserved existing action versions and workflow behaviour while improving execution consistency and supply-chain security.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces mutable GitHub Actions version tags with immutable commit SHAs across ten workflows. Version comments remain where provided. Workflow inputs, job logic, and action versions do not change.

Changes

Workflow action pinning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pin actions in build, pages, analysis, and release workflows
.github/workflows/boj-build.yml, .github/workflows/casket-pages.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml, .github/workflows/static-analysis-gate.yml
These workflows now use immutable commit SHAs for checkout, analysis, artefact, page, setup, cache, and release actions. Version comments remain where provided.
Pin validation workflow checkouts
.github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml
All five checkout steps now use the immutable actions/checkout commit for v7.0.1.
Pin utility workflow actions
.github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.yml, .github/workflows/instant-sync.yml, .github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, .github/workflows/rhodibot.yml
The workflows now use immutable commits for metadata, repository dispatch, SMTP notification, and checkout actions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a2dcb

The notification workflow remains functional, but restoring the v0.3.0 annotation is needed to keep the pinned dependency auditable.

Explanation

The description explains the purpose and intended behaviour, but it does not follow the repository template. It omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections, including the checklist results and test details.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add the required sections, list the workflow changes, mark each applicable checklist item, and describe the testing performed. State that screenshots or terminal output are not applicable if none exist.

All four pinned SHAs match their stated release tags. The concern does not apply.

Restore the original version comment.

The pinned SHA is validly formatted, but the trailing comment does not identify the original v0.3.0 ref. Keep the NOSONAR note and add v0.3.0 to preserve release provenance.
