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.

The actions-lock migration leaves the repository’s SHA-pin validation workflow failing for all migrated references, so the validator should be reconciled before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Update hooks/validate-sha-pins.sh for the actions-lock migration. The hook scans every workflow, accepts only 40-character SHA references, and exits non-zero for all changed version-tag and main references. This contradicts the lockfile-managed reference model.
