ci: pin GitHub Actions to commit SHAs; add Dependabot#6
Merged
Conversation
Supply-chain hardening. Every `uses:` in ci.yml now pins a full 40-char commit SHA with a trailing `# vX.Y.Z` comment, instead of a floating major tag (or, for gh-action-pypi-publish, the `release/v1` branch). A mutable ref can be silently repointed by an attacker who compromises an action's repo or a maintainer account; a SHA pin cannot. The pins resolve to the exact commits the floating refs pointed to at pin time, so CI behavior is unchanged. Add .github/dependabot.yml (github-actions ecosystem, weekly) — wlsqm had none. Dependabot updates SHA-pinned actions and bumps the version comment alongside, so pinning does not freeze the actions: security fixes still flow in as reviewable PRs.

Go-latest fleet policy: pin to the newest release rather than the commit the floating tag happened to point at. v4.0.0 is the release vetted in this session (PyPA/henryiii, multi-week RC cadence); it's already green on pylu and pydgq with the same meson-python + MSVC Windows setup wlsqm uses.

Supply-chain hardening (fleet pilot — wlsqm has the widest action set, so it goes first).
What
uses:inci.ymlis pinned to a full 40-char commit SHA + trailing# vX.Y.Zcomment, replacing floating major tags (and therelease/v1branch forgh-action-pypi-publish)..github/dependabot.yml(github-actions ecosystem, weekly) — wlsqm had none.Why
A floating tag/branch can be silently repointed if an action's repo or a maintainer account is compromised (cf. the
tj-actions/changed-filesincident, March 2025). A commit SHA is immutable. Dependabot understands SHA-pinned actions: it bumps both the SHA and the version comment, so pinning does not freeze the actions — security updates still arrive as reviewable PRs.Behavior
Pins resolve to the exact commits the floating refs pointed to at pin time, so CI runs identical code. Pure hardening, no functional change.
