fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #69
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.

gh actions-lockmarker before the SPDX header.The check reads only line 1, but
gh actions-lockplaces its marker on line 1 and the SPDX header on line 2. The linter therefore fails for every managed workflow, including itself. Keep the marker on line 1 and validate the first non-management-header line instead.Suggested change

Replace the SHA-only action-reference check.
This tag matches the uses: scan at Lines 68-70, does not contain a 40-character SHA, and is not an excluded local or Docker action. The job will add this workflow to unpinned and exit with status 1. The same check also rejects every tag restored by this PR.
Validate the generated actions.lock contract instead of requiring SHA references in workflow files.
