Summary

-        uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        uses: actions/checkout@<sha> # v4

This pins every uses: to the commit its tag resolved to today (20 lines) and adds Dependabot for github-actions. Dependabot bumps the pins weekly and waits a week after each release.

A tag points wherever its owner last moved it, so a hijacked tag would run in these jobs with this repo's secrets and leave no diff here. agent-labs-dev will require SHA-pinned actions org-wide once this merges, and any workflow that still uses a tag will fail after that. This comes out of the supply-chain sweep in agent-labs-dev/nebula#10669.

Evidence

Each SHA comes from gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/commits/<tag>. After the rewrite, no workflow or action file has a uses: without a 40-character SHA. This PR's own CI run checks that every pin resolves.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Blast Radius: CI

The resolved commits are the ones the tags pointed to today, so job behavior doesn't change.

A tag like actions/checkout@v4 points wherever its owner last moved it.
A hijacked tag runs in our jobs with our secrets and no diff here, which
is how the tj-actions compromise spread. Each `uses:` now names the
commit its tag resolved to today, with the tag kept as a comment.

Dependabot bumps the pins weekly, a week after each release, so they
don't freeze. agent-labs-dev is about to require SHA-pinned actions
org-wide, and an unpinned workflow will fail once it does.

#94 pinned the workflows but left action.yml on a tag. agent-labs-dev
now rejects unpinned actions, so the review smoke fails at the
setup-node step on every pull request.

* ci: skip the review smoke on Dependabot pull requests

A run that Dependabot triggers gets the Dependabot secrets, not the
Actions secrets, so OPENROUTER_API_KEY is empty and all three review
jobs fail before testing anything.
