fix(ci): reconcile the workflows with actions.lock (gh-actions-lock v0.1.6)

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.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated GitHub Actions workflows to use version tags for referenced actions.
    • Added workflow management notices indicating automated action-lock management.
    • Updated CodeQL action references to version 4.38.0.
    • Workflow logic and job behaviour remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates GitHub Actions workflows. It adds gh actions-lock markers and changes selected action references from commit SHAs to version tags. Workflow job logic remains unchanged where stated.

Changes

Workflow management updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow management markers
.github/workflows/*.yml
Adds gh actions-lock comments to workflow files. Some files now contain duplicate management comments.
Single-action tag references
.github/workflows/boj-build.yml, .github/workflows/cargo-audit.yml, .github/workflows/dependabot-automerge.yml, .github/workflows/dogfood-gate.yml, .github/workflows/instant-sync.yml, .github/workflows/language-policy.yml, .github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, .github/workflows/trustfile.yml, .github/workflows/workflow-linter.yml
Replaces selected commit-SHA action references with tags such as v7.0.1, v3.1.0, v4.0.1, v0.3.0, and main.
Multi-action tag updates
.github/workflows/casket-pages.yml, .github/workflows/cflite_*.yml, .github/workflows/codeql.yml, .github/workflows/quality.yml
Updates multiple action references to version tags and removes inline version comments. CodeQL actions change to v4.38.0; other workflow steps retain their existing configuration.

Explanation

The description explains the purpose and mechanism of the change, but it does not follow the repository template. It omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections, including actual test output.

Resolution

Update the description to use the repository template. Add the required sections, list the key changes, mark applicable checklist items, and provide actual testing commands and output. State whether screenshots or terminal output are applicable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Update the SPDX header check before adding the management marker.

The check scans all .yml and .yaml workflow files, but head -1 now reads the gh actions-lock marker instead of the SPDX header. Each marker-first file increments errors, so the linter fails.

Proposed correction
-            if ! head -1 "$f" | grep -q "SPDX-License-Identifier"; then
+            if ! sed '/^# This workflow is managed by gh actions-lock\.$/d' "$f" \
+              | head -1 | grep -q "SPDX-License-Identifier"; then
