security: SHA-pin GitHub Actions + add Dependabot#1
Merged
Conversation
Replaces tag-based `uses:` refs with immutable commit SHAs. Closes the attack class where a compromised action tag (e.g., the Mar 2026 reviewdog incident) gets picked up automatically on next workflow run. - actions/checkout@v4 -> @34e114876b0b11c390a56381ad16ebd13914f8d5 - actions/setup-python@v5 -> @a26af69be951a213d495a4c3e4e4022e16d87065 Adds .github/dependabot.yml to keep the pins fresh: Dependabot opens a PR when the underlying tag moves, so pinning doesn't become freeze. Part of platform-wide supply chain hardening Phase 1. Plan: herakles-linux-opus/supply-chain-audit/SYSTEMIC_HARDENING_PLAN.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Pilot PR for platform-wide workflow hardening (Supply Chain Audit Phase 1).
Replaces tag-based action refs with immutable commit SHAs + adds Dependabot to keep pins fresh.
Why
Tag-based
uses: actions/checkout@v4is mutable — anyone with push access toactions/checkoutcan retargetv4at a malicious commit. Subsequent CI runs pick it up silently. This is exactly the failure class behind the March 2026 reviewdog incident.SHA-pinning makes the action immutable. Dependabot keeps it fresh.
Changes
.github/workflows/test.yml— 2 action refs pinned:actions/checkout@v4→@34e114876b0b11c390a56381ad16ebd13914f8d5(v4)actions/setup-python@v5→@a26af69be951a213d495a4c3e4e4022e16d87065(v5).github/dependabot.yml— new; weekly bumps ongithub-actionsecosystem.Verification
