GitHub Actions workflows now use the pinned
actions/checkoutv7.0.1 release consistently, avoid unnecessary full-history downloads, and prevent checkout credentials from persisting in the workspace. Generated documentation is linted with Super-Linter using filesystem discovery restricted to Markdown files.Changed: Workflow checkout security and efficiency
All checkout steps disable credential persistence because these workflows do not rely on the checkout repository for authenticated Git operations. Super-Linter uses filesystem discovery instead of Git, so full-history fetching is not required.
Changed: Generated documentation lint scope
The documentation build runs Super-Linter in local mode with filesystem discovery and limits the include pattern to generated
.mdand.markdownfiles. The default branch is not configured, avoiding Git branch comparison and keeping the lint focused on the documentation output.Technical details
