fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock) - #132
Conversation
…0.1.6) `actions.lock` is authoritative: the workflows carry readable refs and the lock records the commit each ref resolves to, which is what actually runs. Refs that stop matching the manifest make the whole repository unstartable — `startup_failure`, "Invalid lockfile". Regenerated with the official extension (`github/gh-actions-lock`). The hand-pinned SHA refs are reverted to their readable form here precisely because the lockfile, not the workflow, is what pins them.
