When workflows reference the same action with different version tags (e.g.,
v8vsv8.0.0), both resolve to identical SHAs but create separate cache entries. This causes compiled lock files to flip between version comments depending on which workflow compiled last.Changes
Enhanced debug logging across action resolution pipeline:
action_pins.go: Logs duplicate SHA detection during resolutionaction_cache.go: Warns when adding duplicate SHA entries, logs deduplication detailsaction_resolver.go: Logs GitHub API queries with endpoint detailsEnable with:
