Why This Matters
When AI coding agents search for functions to complete a task, they rely on function
names to understand what code does. Clear, descriptive names increase the likelihood
that an agent will find the right function instead of reimplementing existing logic.
Functions in the same package also call each other, so reviewing them together gives
better context for rename decisions.

GetActionPinByRepo() |
GetLatestActionPinByRepo() |
The function returns the highest-version pin for a repo (pins are sorted descending), but the name omits "Latest", making it indistinguishable from an exact-lookup. An agent asked to "get the latest pin" would not reliably find this over GetActionPinsByRepo. |

🤖 Agentic Implementation Plan
Agentic Implementation Plan
This issue is designed to be assigned to a coding agent. The agent should implement
all rename suggestions below in a single pull request.
Prerequisites
Implementation Steps
1. Rename GetActionPinByRepo in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go
// Old
// GetActionPinByRepo returns the latest ActionPin for a given repository, if any.
func GetActionPinByRepo(repo string) (ActionPin, bool) {
// New
// GetLatestActionPinByRepo returns the latest ActionPin for a given repository, if any.
func GetLatestActionPinByRepo(repo string) (ActionPin, bool) {
2. Update all call sites
grep -rn "GetActionPinByRepo" pkg/ --include="*.go"
Known call sites to update:
pkg/workflow/action_pins.go:77 — actionpins.GetActionPinByRepo(repo) → actionpins.GetLatestActionPinByRepo(repo)
- The unexported wrapper
getActionPinByRepo in pkg/workflow/action_pins.go should also be renamed to getLatestActionPinByRepo for consistency
Also update test files:
grep -rn "GetActionPinByRepo" pkg/ --include="*_test.go"
Known test files to update:
pkg/workflow/action_pins_test.go — TestGetActionPinByRepo → TestGetLatestActionPinByRepo
pkg/actionpins/spec_test.go — TestSpec_PublicAPI_GetActionPinByRepo and call sites
3. Verify compilation after rename
4. Run tests after all renames are complete
Commit Convention
refactor: rename GetActionPinByRepo to GetLatestActionPinByRepo for clarity
Validation Checklist
Notes for the Agent
- This is a pure rename refactor — behavior must not change, only names
- If a rename causes unexpected complexity (e.g., name conflicts, interface constraints), skip it and leave a comment in the PR explaining why
- Follow existing naming conventions documented in
