Summary

Pin every uses: ref in .github/workflows/ (and any composite action
files) to a full 40-character commit SHA, with the original tag
preserved as a # vX comment.

Why

Tags and branches are mutable, so a compromised action can replace what
runs in our pipelines without changing the tag we reference. Pinning to
a SHA closes that supply-chain vector. See GitHub's hardening guide:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-third-party-actions.

Deadline

TechOps is enforcing SHA-pinned GitHub Actions across the org by
June 8, 2026.
Merging this PR brings the repo into compliance ahead
of the cut-over; after that date workflows that still reference
mutable tags or branches will be blocked from running.

How

Generated mechanically with pinact run.
No version bumps were applied (strict pin); follow-up upgrades can come
from Renovate or a separate pinact run -u PR.

Test plan

  • CI green on this branch

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: workflow-only changes that swap mutable action tags for pinned commit SHAs, with no application/runtime logic changes. Main risk is CI breakage if any pinned SHAs are incorrect or removed upstream.

Overview
Hardens CI supply chain by replacing mutable uses: ...@vX references with full 40-character commit SHAs (keeping the original version as a comment) across the CI and CodeQL workflows.

This pins actions/checkout, actions/setup-node, Docker build/push/login/setup actions, and github/codeql-action steps (including SARIF upload) to specific commits without changing the workflow behavior otherwise.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bbb7061. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Pin every `uses:` ref in .github/workflows and composite actions to a
full 40-character commit SHA, with the original tag preserved as a
comment, e.g.

    uses: actions/checkout@11bd719 # v4

Tags and branches are mutable; commit SHAs are not. Pinning to a SHA
closes a supply-chain vector where a compromised action could replace
what runs in CI without changing the tag we reference.

applied (strict pin).
