chore: pin GitHub Action dependencies to commit SHAs (SDLC-1165)

[casper-phantom]

Closes SDLC-1165

Note

Low risk: CI-only change to two workflow files; the pinned SHAs were resolved from the upstream v4.4.0 tags and both workflows run on every pull request, so a bad pin surfaces immediately in this PR's own checks.

Summary

• Pins actions/checkout and actions/setup-node in main.yml and tests.yml to 40-character commit SHAs, so a moved tag or compromised upstream can no longer change CI code without a change in this repository.
• Both pins land on v4.4.0 rather than freezing the v3 refs the workflows used, because pinning fixes the ref permanently and v3 is built on the deprecated Node 16 runtime.
• The remaining uses: ./ steps run the action in this repository and are already immutable at the checked-out commit, so no recursive references are left unpinned.
• Also sets persist-credentials: false on both checkout steps, so the yarn install in the test workflow no longer has a token sitting in .git/config for a dependency lifecycle script to read. No step needs git authentication: nothing pushes, fetches, or clones, the action authenticates through Octokit with the token input, and yarn.lock has no git+ dependencies.
