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.

`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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security & Reliability
    • Pinned CI/CD actions to immutable commit references while retaining their existing versions, improving build reproducibility and supply-chain protection.
    • Standardised action references across validation, analysis, release, deployment, and notification workflows.
    • Clarified the artifact name and destination used when retrieving static-analysis results.

Walkthrough

GitHub Actions references across CI, build, Pages, CodeQL, notification, release, and static-analysis workflows now use fixed commit SHAs. Existing version comments remain where specified. The Hypatia download step also declares its artifact name and path.

Changes

Workflow action pinning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validation workflow pins
.github/workflows/abi-ffi-gate.yml, .github/workflows/boj-build.yml, .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml, .github/workflows/rhodibot.yml
Checkout steps now use the pinned actions/checkout commit instead of the v7.0.1 tag.
Build, release, and notification pins
.github/workflows/casket-pages.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/instant-sync.yml, .github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml
Workflow actions now use commit SHAs. Existing action versions remain as comments where specified.
Static analysis action pins
.github/workflows/static-analysis-gate.yml
Static-analysis actions now use commit SHAs. The Hypatia download step now sets name: hypatia-findings and path: findings/.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37ce0

The workflows use newer pinned action revisions than the repository’s generated lock metadata records. Regenerate the manifest and correct the SMTP pin comment before merging to keep the declared action inventory accurate.

Explanation

The description explains the policy requirement and the intended pinning change, but it does not follow the repository template. It omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections, and it provides no test results or checklist status.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add the Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections. Record the applicable checklist results and describe the validation performed. Ensure the listed changes match the actual diff, including the dtolnay/rust-toolchain changes if they are present.

Regenerate .github/workflows/actions.lock and update the SMTP pin comment.

The lock records CodeQL as v4.37.9 and SMTP as v0.2.0, but the workflows use CodeQL v4.38.0 and SMTP v0.3.0. Run gh actions-lock to regenerate the manifest. Update the SMTP comment to reference sha1-22e7bdb322c430c1d0dac6b3bb307f4bb139d0be.
