fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #75

…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.

GitHub Actions documentation immutable full length commit SHA action reference tags mutable security hardening
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In GitHub Actions, pinning to a full-length (40-character) commit SHA is the primary method for ensuring an action is immutable [1][2][3]. Because tags, branches (e.g., main, master), and references like latest are mutable, they can be force-pushed or moved by an action's maintainer—or an attacker who compromises the maintainer's account—to point to different, potentially malicious code [4][5][6]. Key security considerations include: 1. Immutability: A full-length commit SHA is cryptographically unique and cannot be changed [3][7]. Pinning to a SHA prevents your workflows from automatically executing updated code that you have not reviewed [8][5]. 2. Security Hardening: GitHub recommends pinning third-party actions to a full-length SHA to mitigate supply chain risks [1][8]. Organizations can enforce this practice using the allowed actions policy, which can be configured to fail any workflow that attempts to use an action not pinned to a full SHA [8]. 3. Maintaining Updates: To balance security with the need for updates, it is a common best practice to pin to the full SHA while including the human-readable version (e.g., v4.2.2) as a trailing comment [5][9][6]. Tools like Dependabot and Renovate can parse these comments to automatically open pull requests for new versions, allowing you to review and merge updates while maintaining immutability [5][9][6]. 4. Immutable Releases: GitHub has introduced features for "immutable releases," where assets and Git tags are locked upon publication and cannot be modified or deleted [8][10]. While this provides additional integrity, pinning to a full SHA remains the standard recommendation for maximum control and security in workflow definitions [1][2][11]. Always use the full 40-character SHA; abbreviated SHAs are not recommended as they are not guaranteed to be unique or immutable [3][7][9].

Restore immutable action references. GitHub Actions resolves each uses: tag when the workflow runs. It does not read the commit fields in .github/workflows/actions.lock. If a referenced tag is retargeted, a later Pages run can execute unreviewed action code with this workflow's permissions.
Restore full commit SHA references for these actions, or invoke a trusted resolver that rewrites the references to reviewed commits before execution. Apply the correction to all affected root workflows.
