SHA pin first-party GitHub Actions#125
Merged

Conversation
Pins every actions/* and github/* uses: reference in .github/workflows to its commit SHA, with the human-readable version preserved in a trailing comment, matching the convention already used for third-party actions. Removes the supply-chain exposure left by floating @vn tags now that dependabot has a 3-day cooldown configured. Follows cli/cli#13491 (cli/cli) and cli/cli#13490.

| .github/workflows/codeql.yml | Pins actions/checkout, actions/setup-go, and github/codeql-action/* to SHAs; CodeQL pin also reflects a version bump vs prior tag. |

What
Replaces every
actions/*andgithub/*uses:reference in.github/workflows/*.ymlwith the equivalent commit SHA, preserving the human-readable version in a trailing comment. Matches the convention already used for third-party action pins.Unique pins introduced:

With the 3-day dependabot cooldown configured for
github-actions, version-tag references give no real benefit (dependabot still opens PRs on patch releases) while leaving us exposed to tag-mutation supply chain attacks on first-party namespaces. SHA pinning is the more consistent and defensible posture.Verification
@vNrefs remain.<sha> # vX.Y.Zpins and will bump both the SHA and the comment on the next patch release.Opened as a draft for review; mark ready when checks pass.
