Breaking changes in minor or patch versions of clang-format

[jidicula]

I'm not sure how often this scenario happens:

It's possible that a formatting check workflow using this action and a pinned version of clang-format could break in a subsequent run if the underlying clang-format Ubuntu package has introduced a breaking minor or patch version change.

I want to gather some data and opinions on this so I can understand this problem better.

clang-format 18.1.3 -> 18.1.5+ resulted in breaking changes. This is a bit of a headache because it causes out CI checks to fail when it is really a false positive.
