fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs - #77
Conversation
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.

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions workflow duplicate YAML mapping keys duplicate key parser error
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In GitHub Actions, YAML files must adhere to standard YAML syntax [1][2]. While the official GitHub Actions documentation does not explicitly detail a specific "duplicate key parser error" message, standard YAML parsers—which GitHub uses to process workflow files—typically treat duplicate keys as invalid or ambiguous [1][2]. If a GitHub Actions workflow contains duplicate mapping keys, the workflow will generally fail to parse, resulting in a validation error when you attempt to commit or run the workflow. This is because the YAML specification (which GitHub Actions follows) requires keys within a mapping to be unique. To resolve this issue: 1. Review your workflow YAML file for any keys that appear more than once at the same indentation level (e.g., defining env or steps twice within the same job). 2. Ensure that all job identifiers (jobs.<job_id>) are unique within the jobs object [1][3]. 3. Use a YAML validator or linter to identify the specific line causing the duplication. Note that this behavior is distinct from some other GitHub APIs (such as the Copilot content exclusion API), which may simply overwrite earlier entries with the last occurrence of a duplicate key [4][5]; however, for GitHub Actions workflow files, strict YAML compliance is required, and duplicate keys will cause the workflow to be rejected.

"GitHub Actions" duplicate key with YAML workflow error
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
A "duplicate key" error in a GitHub Actions YAML workflow occurs when a key is defined more than once within the same mapping (dictionary) [1][2]. Because GitHub Actions requires unique keys to parse the workflow configuration correctly, the presence of duplicates causes the workflow file to be rejected as invalid [1][3][4]. Common causes and solutions include: 1. Duplicate Job IDs: If you define two jobs with the same identifier (e.g., two jobs named build), the workflow will fail [1]. Ensure every job has a unique ID [1]. 2. Accidental Concatenation: Sometimes, a workflow file may accidentally contain two full workflow definitions concatenated together, resulting in duplicate top-level keys like name, on, or jobs [4]. Review the file to ensure it contains only one complete workflow structure [4]. 3. Case-Insensitivity: Note that some keys in GitHub Actions are treated as case-insensitive [5][6]. For example, defining both version_name and VERSION_NAME within the same matrix mapping will trigger a duplicate key error because the system treats them as the same key [5][6]. 4. Duplicate Triggers or Configuration: Accidentally repeating blocks (such as multiple on: pull_request sections) will cause a failure [3]. Consolidate these into a single block [4]. To prevent and debug these errors: - Use a YAML linter or specialized tools like actionlint, which can detect duplicate keys and other syntax issues before you push your code [5][1][7]. - Carefully review your YAML indentation and structure to ensure keys are not nested incorrectly or repeated [2]. - If you are using a CI/CD pipeline to validate your workflows, ensure it runs a linter that specifically checks for duplicate keys [1][3].

Merge the duplicate with mappings.
The dtolnay/rust-toolchain step defines with twice at the same mapping level. GitHub Actions rejects duplicate mapping keys during workflow validation; it does not silently discard one input. Keep both inputs in one mapping.
