fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs

The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at
startup — startup_failure, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflows
could not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the
ref in a trailing comment, e.g. actions/checkout@<sha> # v4.

dtolnay/rust-toolchain takes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained an
explicit with: toolchain: input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.

No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Pinned workflow actions to specific commit revisions instead of mutable version tags, improving build and deployment consistency.
    • Preserved the associated action version information for traceability.
  • Maintenance
    • Updated security analysis, synchronisation, notification, and GitHub Pages workflows without changing their existing jobs, permissions, payloads, or deployment behaviour.

Walkthrough

Six GitHub Actions workflow files now pin action references to full commit SHAs. Inline comments retain the corresponding action versions. Workflow jobs, inputs, permissions, and dispatch behaviour are unchanged.

Changes

Keep actions.lock aligned with every pinned action.

The lock manifest still lists older CodeQL and SMTP references. Regenerate it in the same change so it records CodeQL v4.38.0 and SMTP v0.3.0 for the affected workflows.

Synchronise the stale Ruby action entry in .github/workflows/actions.lock.

The manifest already contains the required entries for the other listed pins. Run gh actions-lock to update the ruby/setup-ruby entry for .github/workflows/jekyll.yml from v1.321.0 and commit sha1-95ef2b042f9d7a56d8268cba8559e2842e2ad01b to the workflow’s v1.323.0 pin and commit sha1-984c0c890880bbf811283d6f09c4607c62d210a4.

…0.1.6)

`actions.lock` is authoritative: the workflows carry readable refs and the lock records the
commit each ref resolves to, which is what actually runs. Refs that stop matching the manifest
make the whole repository unstartable — `startup_failure`, "Invalid lockfile".

Regenerated with the official extension (`github/gh-actions-lock`). The hand-pinned SHA refs are
reverted to their readable form here precisely because the lockfile, not the workflow, is what
pins them.
