fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock v0.1.6)

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.

    • Updated workflow action references across automated checks and release processes to use version tags.
    • Added workflow-management markers where applicable.
    • Workflow jobs, validation steps, notifications and release behaviour remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates GitHub Actions workflow headers and action references. Most references move from commit SHAs to release tags while retaining the stated versions. The security-policy checkout reference changes to the corresponding commit SHA.

Changes

Workflow action normalisation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow management markers
.github/workflows/*.yml
The workflows add, remove, or retain gh actions-lock management comments. Related leading blank lines and duplicate comments are adjusted.
Action reference updates
.github/workflows/*.yml
Action references change between commit-SHA forms and release-tag forms, including checkout, CodeQL, Pages, quality, release, testing, and security workflows. Workflow job logic and action inputs remain unchanged in the supplied summaries.

Allow the gh actions-lock marker before the SPDX header.

The check reads only line 1, but gh actions-lock places 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.

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.
