Summary

Pin every uses: ref in .github/workflows/ (and any composite action
files) to a full 40-character commit SHA, with the original tag
preserved as a # vX comment.

Why

Tags and branches are mutable, so a compromised action can replace what
runs in our pipelines without changing the tag we reference. Pinning to
a SHA closes that supply-chain vector. See GitHub's hardening guide:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-third-party-actions.

Deadline

TechOps is enforcing SHA-pinned GitHub Actions across the org.
Merging this PR brings the repo into compliance; workflows that still
reference mutable tags or branches may be blocked from running.

How

Generated mechanically with pinact run.
No version bumps were applied (strict pin); follow-up upgrades can come
from Renovate or a separate pinact run -u PR.

Test plan

  • CI green on this branch

Note

Low Risk
Workflow-only reference pinning with no step logic changes; behavior should match prior tagged versions at the pinned commits.

Overview
Pins every uses: reference touched in CI workflows from mutable tags (@v1, @v4, etc.) to immutable 40-character commit SHAs, keeping the original version in a trailing # vX comment for readability.

Coverage spans build/lint/test, main (merge queue, workflow lint, release detection), create-release-pr, publish-release (artifacts + npm), publish-registry (checkout, deploy, cross-repo dispatch), and security-code-scanner. MetaMask composite actions (action-checkout-and-setup, action-npm-publish, github-tools helpers, etc.) and common third-party steps (actions/checkout, upload-artifact, download-artifact, github-script) are included; no functional workflow logic or inputs change—only how action versions are resolved at runtime.

This aligns the repo with org supply-chain hardening (tags can be retargeted; SHAs cannot).

Pin every `uses:` ref in .github/workflows and composite actions to a
full 40-character commit SHA, with the original tag preserved as a
comment, e.g.

    uses: actions/checkout@11bd719 # v4

Tags and branches are mutable; commit SHAs are not. Pinning to a SHA
closes a supply-chain vector where a compromised action could replace
what runs in CI without changing the tag we reference.

applied (strict pin).
