fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs - #68
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.

Align the lock record with the pinned release.
The v0.3.0 tag dereferences to 22e7bdb322c430c1d0dac6b3bb307f4bb139d0be, but actions.lock and the trailing comment still identify the v0.2.0 commit. Update both records to the v0.3.0 commit.

with: toolchain:input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.
