fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #101
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.

zizmor 1.30.0 unpinned-uses actions.lock lockfile support documentation
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
As of zizmor version 1.30.0, there is no native support for using a.github/workflows/actions.lock file to suppress findings in the unpinned-uses audit [1][2][3]. The unpinned-uses audit in zizmor is designed to ensure that GitHub Actions are pinned to a specific commit SHA (hash-pinning) [3][4]. While other security tools, such as CodeQL, have implemented support for recognizing lockfile-pinned references to suppress warnings [5], zizmor's unpinned-uses audit operates based on its own configurable policies [1][3]. Users can manage how zizmor evaluates pinning requirements through the following mechanisms: 1. Configurable Policies: You can define custom policies in your zizmor.yml configuration file to specify which actions or namespaces require hash-pinning versus ref-pinning [1][3]. This allows you to relax requirements for trusted internal actions or specific repositories [1][3]. 2. Ignore Comments: zizmor supports ignore comments within the workflow file to suppress findings for specific steps [2]. 3. Audit Configuration: The unpinned-uses audit allows you to set policies such as ref-pin or hash-pin for different patterns (e.g., actions/, github/) [1][6]. If you require suppression for actions that are managed via a lockfile, you must currently use zizmor's native configuration or ignore mechanisms rather than relying on an external lockfile integration [1][3].

Resolve the zizmor pinning conflict before merging.
actions.lock records the resolved commits, but zizmor 1.30.0 does not use this file for unpinned-uses. These tag references can therefore fail a required zizmor check. Use a narrowly scoped zizmor policy for the intended references, or replace them with full commit-SHA references and regenerate actions.lock. Do not add a blanket suppression.
