Address zizmor findings in GitHub Actions workflows #224

Description

@fcooper8472

Summary

The new weekly zizmor audit (#218) currently reports 25 findings across our GitHub Actions workflows. Since the workflow doesn't auto-fix (by design, remediation is a human decision), this issue tracks reviewing and fixing them.

Live findings: https://github.com/Chaste/Chaste.github.io/security/code-scanning?query=is%3Aopen

Current breakdown (25 findings)

By rule:

  • unpinned-uses (16) — actions referenced by tag (e.g. @v4) rather than pinned to a commit SHA
  • artipacked (5) — actions/checkout steps that don't set persist-credentials: false
  • excessive-permissions (4) — jobs/workflows without explicit minimal permissions

By file:

  • deploy.yaml (9)
  • check-links-pr.yaml (5)
  • check-links-schedule.yaml (4)
  • zizmor-schedule.yaml (4)
  • build.yaml (3)
