fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #57
Conversation
…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.
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThis PR updates GitHub Actions workflow headers and action references. Most workflows move from commit-SHA references to version tags. The quality and Rhodibot workflows retain or restore commit-SHA references for selected actions. ChangesGitHub Actions locking
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Change: Bug fix Possibly related PRs
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Workflow changes will fail the repository’s linter until it accepts managed headers and validates tag references through actions.lock, so this should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)
