Pin all remaining unpinned third-party GitHub Actions to full-length commit SHAs (with a # vX.Y.Z comment) to harden the CI/CD supply chain against a compromised upstream tag being repointed to malicious code. Each action keeps its current major version, pinned to the latest patch of that major (SHA verified against the upstream tag): - actions/setup-node -> v7.0.0 (matches existing repo pins) - actions/upload-artifact -> v7.0.1 - actions/download-artifact -> v8.0.1 - github/codeql-action -> v4.37.1 (init + analyze, same SHA) - amannn/action-semantic-pull-request -> v6.1.1 - actions/labeler -> v6.2.0 Local ./ composite/reusable refs are unchanged (same-repo, no external supply-chain risk).

Pull request overview
This PR improves GitHub Actions supply-chain security by pinning third-party uses: references (in workflows and composite actions) to full commit SHAs, with version comments, instead of mutable tags.
Changes:
- Pin remaining third-party GitHub Actions (
actions/*,github/codeql-action,amannn/action-semantic-pull-request) to full commit SHAs with# vX.Y.Zcomments. - Apply the same pinning convention consistently across workflows and reusable/composite actions.
- Keep local
uses: ./...references unchanged (same-repo).

Issue number: FW-6928
What is the current behavior?
Several third-party GitHub Actions in our workflows and composite actions
were still referenced by mutable tags (
@v6/@v7/@v8/@v4). A mutabletag can be repointed by the action author — or an attacker who gains write
access to the action repo — to arbitrary code, which then runs with the
workflow's permissions and secrets (notably in the release pipeline).
What is the new behavior?
All remaining unpinned third-party actions are now pinned to a full-length
commit SHA with a
# vX.Y.Zcomment, matching the convention already usedacross the repo (e.g.
actions/checkout@9c091bb… # v7.0.0). Each actionkeeps its current major, pinned to the latest patch of that major. Every
SHA was independently verified against its upstream tag.
Local
uses: ./…composite/reusable refs are intentionally left unchanged(same-repo, no external supply-chain risk).
Does this introduce a breaking change?
No behavioural change — this only pins which upstream commit CI executes.

github-actionsDependabot entry to keep the pinsbumped.
