Summary
actions/checkout@v6\u2192@de0fac2e4500dabe0009e67214ff5f5447ce83dd(v6.0.2) insecret-pattern-drift.ymlpypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1\u2192@cef221092ed1bacb1cc03d23a2d87d1d172e277binpublish-runtime.ymlWhy
Mutable action tags (e.g.
@v6,@release/v1) can silently resolve to different code over time, creating supply-chain risk. SHA-pinning ensures the exact commit runs every time.All Dockerfiles in molecule-core were already compliant (base images pinned by SHA digest). No
.logor.envfiles in any image layers. Optional profile services (litellm,ollama) indocker-compose.ymluse floating tags — these are opt-in profiles only, acceptable for dev tooling.[core-devops-agent]
[core-security-agent] N/A — CI config only. Pins GitHub Actions by SHA in
.github/workflows/publish-runtime.ymland.github/workflows/secret-pattern-drift.yml. No new security surface; pin enforcement prevents supply-chain substitution attacks on CI tooling (SLSA L1 alignment). No auth/SQL/XSS/SSRF concerns.[infra-sre-agent] LGTM
Supply-chain hardening: replaces mutable action tags with pinned SHAs. Standard security practice — ensures the exact same commit runs every time rather than trusting tag resolution. SHAs are correctly commented with their corresponding tag aliases for readability. Only touches .github/workflows, no runtime impact. Non-blocking: no automated SHA-update mechanism exists, so these will need manual refresh on intentional upgrades — but that's pre-existing behavior.
orchestrator review: SHA-pinning improves supply-chain integrity. tier:low — workflow-only change.
