fix(reusable): check out github-workflows at github.job_workflow_sha#7
Merged
Conversation
The reusable workflows resolved the github-workflows checkout ref from github.workflow_ref, which in a called workflow is the CALLER's ref (…/ci.yml@refs/pull/N/merge) — so the composite-action checkout tried github-workflows@refs/pull/N/merge and failed with 'ref not found', breaking every JVM/node/gitops consumer on PR events. Use github.job_workflow_sha (the reusable workflow's own commit) instead.
github.job_workflow_sha is a documented context property (the reusable workflow's own commit) but this actionlint version's context schema lacks it. Ignore that one message so the legitimate fix passes lint.
