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

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.

explicit `with: toolchain:` input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Pinned CI, security scanning, deployment, synchronisation, notification, and testing actions to specific immutable revisions.
    • Preserved version labels for easier identification while improving workflow reproducibility and supply-chain security.

Walkthrough

The workflows replace mutable GitHub Action tags with fixed commit SHAs. Version comments remain for identification. Rust toolchain versions are supplied through explicit inputs in two workflow steps.

Workflow action pinning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pin workflow actions and toolchains
.github/workflows/*.yml, vext/.github/workflows/stress-test.yml
Workflow action references now use fixed commit SHAs. The quality-gates workflow changes the Rust toolchain input from stable to v1. The stress-test workflow supplies stable through an explicit input.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8bff6

One continuous-integration job sets its Rust toolchain twice in the same step and uses a value that is not a real toolchain, so that job is likely to break until the duplicate entry is removed and a valid channel is used. The recorded action-version list also no longer matches the workflows, which is worth confirming before merge; other workflow changes only swap version tags for equivalent fixed commits and should behave as before.

Synchronise workflow pins with .github/workflows/actions.lock.

.github/workflows/actions.lock is machine-generated and is the declared pin authority for push-email-notify.yml. The affected workflows use refs that differ from their lockfile entries. Regenerate the lockfile with gh actions-lock, or update the workflow pins to match the intended lock entries:

  • pages.yml: checkout v4.4.0, upload-pages-artifact v3.0.1, deploy-pages v4.0.5.
  • push-email-notify.yml: smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0, using the lockfile commit.
  • quality-gates.yml: checkout v4.3.1.
  • workflow-linter.yml: checkout v4.1.1.

official dtolnay/rust-toolchain action documentation toolchain input accepted values v1 stable

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The dtolnay/rust-toolchain GitHub Action accepts a wide range of values for the toolchain input, as it is designed to be a flexible wrapper around rustup toolchain specifications [1][2]. Accepted values for the toolchain input include: Standard Rustup Specifiers: You can use standard identifiers such as stable, nightly, beta, or specific version numbers (e.g., 1.89.0) [1][2][3]. Date-based nightly versions are also supported (e.g., nightly-2025-01-01) [1][2]. Time-based Expressions: The action supports advanced expressions that allow for dynamic toolchain selection [1][2]: - Relative time offsets: You can specify a stable toolchain from a past date using formats like stable 18 months ago, stable 2 weeks ago, or stable 1 day ago [1][2]. - Version offsets: You can specify a stable toolchain relative to the current release using the format stable minus N releases (e.g., stable minus 8 releases) [1][2]. Usage Notes: - Default Behavior: If no toolchain input is provided, the action defaults to the toolchain specified by the @rev of the action (e.g., dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable or dtolnay/rust-toolchain@1.89.0) [1][2]. - Recommended Revision: When passing an explicit toolchain value via the toolchain input, it is recommended to use dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master as the action revision [1][2][3]. - Technical Basis: The toolchain input is passed to rustup, and the action includes internal logic to parse and resolve the custom time-based and version-based expressions before invoking the underlying rustup commands [4].

See the details below. ## Outputs Installed`rustc`,`cargo` and`rustup` versions can be fetched from the Action outputs: | Name | Description | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | `rustc` | Rustc version | `1.40.0 (73528e339 2019-12-16)` | | `rustc_hash` | Rustc version hash | `73528e339` | | `cargo` | Cargo version | `1.40.0 (bc8e4c8be 2019-11-22)` | | `rustup` | rustup version | `1.21.1 (7832b2ebe 2019-12-20)` | Note:`rustc_hash` output value can be used with actions/cache Action to store cache for different Rust versions, as it is unique across different Rust versions and builds (including`nightly`). ## Profiles This Action supports rustup profiles, which are can be used to speed up the workflow execution by installing the minimally required set of components, for example: ``` - name: Install minimal nightly uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1 with: profile: minimal toolchain: nightly ``` This Action will automatically run`rustup self update` if`profile` input is set and the installed`rustup` version does not supports them. In order to provide backwards compatibility for`v1` version, there is no value for`profile` input set by default, which means that the`default` profile is used by`rustup`(and that includes`rust-docs`,`clippy` and`rustfmt`). You may want to consider using`profile: minimal` to speed up toolchain installation. ## Components This Action supports rustup components too, and in combination with the profiles input it allows to install only the needed components: ``` - name: Install minimal stable with clippy and rustfmt uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1 with: profile: minimal toolchain: stable components: rustfmt, clippy ``` As an extra perk,`rustup >= 1.20.0` is able to find the most recent`nightly` toolchain with the requested components available; next example is utilizing this feature to install the minimal set of`nightly` toolchain components with the`rustfmt` and`clippy` extras: ``` - name: Install minimal nightly with clippy and rustfmt uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1 with: profile: minimal toolchain: nightly components: rustfmt, clippy ``` In case if`nightly` toolchain is requested and one of the components is missing in latest`nightly` release, this Action will attempt the downgrade till it find the most recent`nightly` with all components n…[truncated]

official rustup toolchain specification valid channel names version syntax v1

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The official rustup toolchain specification defines the naming convention for standard release channels using the following syntax [1][2]: <channel>[-<date>][-<host>] The components of this syntax are defined as follows [1][2]: <channel> = stable|beta|nightly|<versioned>[-<prerelease>] <versioned> = <major.minor>|<major.minor.patch> <prerelease> = beta[.<number>] <date> = YYYY-MM-DD <host> = <target-tuple> Key details of this specification include: Channel: This can be a named release channel (stable, beta, or nightly), a major and minor version (e.g., 1.42), or a fully specified version (e.g., 1.42.0) [1][2]. Date: An optional archive date (e.g., nightly-2014-12-18) allows for downloading toolchains from specific historical dates [1][2]. Host: An optional target tuple (e.g., x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) specifies the host platform. For convenience, elements of the target tuple can be omitted and will be inferred by rustup (e.g., stable-msvc) [1][2]. Toolchain names that do not follow this official channel format are treated as custom toolchains [1][3]. Custom toolchain names have fewer restrictions but must avoid certain characters and patterns (such as starting with a + or containing: or &#39;) to ensure they are parsed correctly by the CLI [3][4]. In project configuration files like rust-toolchain.toml, the channel setting uses this same string format [5][6]. While legacy rust-toolchain files supported a simple string format, modern configurations prefer the TOML structure [5][6].

<title>Toolchains - The rustup book</title> https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/toolchains.html Toolchains - The rustup book # Toolchains Many `rustup` commands deal with toolchains, a single installation of the Rust compiler. `rustup` supports multiple types of toolchains. The most basic track the official release channels: stable, beta and nightly; but `rustup` can also install toolchains from the official archives, for alternate host platforms, and from local builds. ## Toolchain specification Standard release channel toolchain names have the following form: ``` <channel>[-<date>][-<host>] <channel> = stable|beta|nightly|<versioned>[-<prerelease>] <versioned> = <major.minor>|<major.minor.patch> <prerelease> = beta[.<number>] <date> = YYYY-MM-DD <host> = <target-tuple> ``` ‘channel’ is a named release channel, a major and minor version number such as `1.42`, or a fully specified version number, such as `1.42.0`. Channel names can be optionally appended with an archive date, as in `nightly-2014-12-18`, in which case the toolchain is downloaded from the archive for that date. Finally, the host may be specified as a target tuple. This is most useful for installing a 32-bit compiler on a 64-bit platform, or for installing the MSVC-based toolchain on Windows. For example: ```console $ rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ``` For convenience, elements of the target tuple that are omitted will be inferred, so the above could be written: ```console $ rustup toolchain install stable-msvc ``` Toolchain names that don’t name a channel instead can be used to name custom toolchains. ## Custom toolchains For convenience of developers working on Rust itself, `rustup` can manage local builds of the Rust toolchain. To teach `rustup` about your build, run: ```console $ rustup toolchain link my-toolchain path/to/my/toolchain/sysroot ``` For example, on Ubuntu you might clone `rust-lang/rust` into `~/rust`, build it, and then run: ```console $ rustup toolchain link my-toolchain ~/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/ $ rustup default my-toolchain ``` Now you can name `my-toolchain` as any other `rustup` toolchain. Create a `rustup` toolchain for each of your `rust-lang/rust` workspaces and test them easily with `rustup run my-toolchain rustc`. Because the `rust-lang/rust` tree does not include Cargo, when `cargo` is invoked for a custom toolchain and it is not available, `rustup` will attempt to use `cargo` from one of the release channels, preferring ‘nightly’, then ‘beta’ or ‘stable’. <title>src/cli/help.rs</title> https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/master/src/cli/help.rs pub(crate) fn toolchain_help() -> String { format!( r"{HEADER}Discussion:{HEADER:#} Many `rustup` commands deal with *toolchains*, a single installation of the Rust compiler. `rustup` supports multiple types of toolchains.

In practice that means letters and digits in any script, along with`.`,`_`, and`-`; whitespace, most punctuation, emoji, and invisible or direction-altering characters are rejected. A name may not start with`-`, which would be read as an argument, nor be`.` or`..`. For example, on Ubuntu you might clone`rust-lang/rust` into`~/rust`, build it, and then run: ``` $ rustup toolchain link my-toolchain ~/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/ $ rustup default my-toolchain ``` Now you can name`my-toolchain` as any other`rustup` toolchain.

It explains how Rustup interprets different formats of toolchain names, how these names are validated, and how they are resolved to concrete toolchains. This covers the internal logic for `ToolchainDesc`, `PartialToolchainDesc`, and the logic for resolving user-provided strings into actionable entities. ... * **`ToolchainDesc`**: A fully-resolved descriptor. It always contains a full `TargetTriple` and is used for canonical identification, such as naming installation directories (e.g., `stable-x86\_64-pc-windows-msvc`) [src/dist/mod.rs158-163](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/mod.rs#L158-L163) ... * **`PartialToolchainDesc`**: Allows for "partial" names like `stable-msvc`. These are parsed from a hardcoded set of known triples and require resolution against a host triple to become a `ToolchainDesc` [src/dist/mod.rs146-150](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/mod.rs#L146-L150) ... * **`Channel`**: Represents the release channel: `Stable`, `Beta`, `Nightly`, or a specific `Version(PartialVersion)` [src/dist/mod.rs166-171](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/mod.rs#L166-L171) ... |`ResolvableToolchainName`|User input that is either `Custom` or `Official` (Partial).|[src/toolchain/names.rs135-138](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/toolchain/names.rs#L135-L138)| ... |`ToolchainName`|A resolved name, either `Official(ToolchainDesc)` or `Custom`.|[src/toolchain/names.rs217-220](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/toolchain/names.rs#L217-L220)| ... |`CustomToolchainName`|A user-defined name for a non-official toolchain.|[src/toolchain/names.rs383-386](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b ... c0919/src/toolchain/names.rs#L383-L386)| ... `|Rep ... or absolute path ... rs33 ... /src/ ... rs#L33 ... * **`PartialTargetTriple`**: A structure containing optional `arch`, `os`, and `env` fields. It is parsed using regex against a list of known architectures and operating systems [src/dist/triple.rs8-12](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/triple.rs#L8-L12) ... All toolchain names undergo a basic validation that strips trailing slashes and ensures the name does not start with a `+` (which is reserved for CLI shorthands) [src/toolchain/names.rs121-131](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/toolchain/names.rs#L121-L131) ... For official toolchains, resolution eventually leads to a manifest lookup. `ToolchainDesc` provides methods to construct the manifest URL based on the distribution server (defaulting to `https://static.rust-lang.org`) [src/dist/mod.rs50](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/mod.rs#L50-L50) [src/dist/download.rs157](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/blob/4b2c0919/src/dist/download.rs#L157-L157) <title>Overrides - The rustup book</title> https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html?highlight=toolchain Overrides - The rustup book ## Keyboard shortcuts Press ← or → to navigate between chapters Press S or / to search in the book Press ? to show this help Press Esc to hide this help - Auto - Light - Rust - Coal - Navy - Ayu # The rustup book Print this book Git repository Suggest an edit # Overrides `rustup` automatically determines which toolchain to use when one of the installed commands like`rustc` is executed. There are several ways to control and override which toolchain is used: 1. A toolchain override shorthand used on the command-line, such as`cargo +beta`. 2. The`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN` environment variable. 3. A directory override, set with the`rustup override` command. 4. The`rust-toolchain.toml` file. 5. The default toolchain. The toolchain is chosen in the order listed above, using the first one that is specified. There is one exception though: directory overrides and the`rust-toolchain.toml` file are also preferred by their proximity to the current directory. That is, these two override methods are discovered by walking up the directory tree toward the filesystem root, and a`rust-toolchain.toml` file that is closer to the current directory will be preferred over a directory override that is further away. To verify which toolchain is active, you can use`rustup show`. ## Toolchain override shorthand The`rustup` toolchain proxies can be instructed directly to use a specific toolchain, a convenience for developers who often test different toolchains. If the first argument to`cargo`,`rustc` or other tools in the toolchain begins with`+`, it will be interpreted as a`rustup` toolchain name, and that toolchain will be preferred, as in ``` cargo +beta test ``` ## Directory overrides Directories can be assigned their own Rust toolchain with`rustup override`. When a directory has an override then any time`rustc` or`cargo` is run inside that directory, or one of its child directories, the override toolchain will be invoked. To use to a specific nightly for a directory: ``` rustup override set nightly-2014-12-18 ``` Or a specific stable release: ``` rustup override set 1.0.0 ``` To see the active toolchain use`rustup show`. To remove the override and use the default toolchain again,`rustup override unset`. The per-directory overrides are stored in a configuration file in`rustup`’s home directory. ## The toolchain file Some projects find themselves ‘pinned’ to a specific release of Rust and want this information reflected in their source repository. This is most often the case for nightly-only software that pins to a revision from the release archives. In these cases the toolchain can be named in the project’s directory in a file called`rust-toolchain.toml` or`rust-toolchain`. If both files are present in a directory, the latter is used for backwards compatibility. The files use the TOML format and have the following layout: ``` [toolchain] channel = "nightly-2020-07-10" components = [ "rustfmt", "rustc-dev" ] targets = [ "wasm32-unknown-unknown", "thumbv2-none-eabi" ] profile = "minimal" ``` The`[toolchain]` section is mandatory, and at least one property must be specified.`channel` and`path` are mutually exclusive. For backwards compatibility,`rust-toolchain` files also support a legacy format that only contains a toolchain name without any TOML encoding, e.g. just`nightly-2021-01-21`. The file has to be encoded in US-ASCII in this case (if you are on Windows, check the encoding and that it does not start with a BOM). The legacy format is not available in`rust-toolchain.toml` files. If you see the following error (when running`rustc`,`cargo` or other command) ``` error: invalid channel name &`#39`;[toolchain]&`#39`; in &`#39`;/PATH/TO/DIRECTORY/rust-toolchain&`#39`; ``` it means you’re running`rustup` pre-1.23.0 and trying to interact with a project that uses the new TOML encoding in the`rust-toolchain` file. You need to upgrade`rustup` to 1.23.0+. The`rust-toolchain.t…[truncated]
