Summary

Five Dependabot GitHub Actions bumps (#1002, #1004, #1005, #1006, #1009) combined into one pull request so they cost one CI round instead of five (each merge makes the others "behind", and branch protection requires an up-to-date branch). Dependabot closes its own pull requests when the same change lands. The individual commits are merged unchanged.

Review

Action	Change	Checked
pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish	1.14.0 → 1.14.2 (SHA pin)	The new pin dc37677b… is the commit of tag v1.14.2 (dereferenced the annotated tag; the old pin is v1.14.0's). The release only updates the action's own dependency tree (Twine 7, pypi-attestations, sigstore): action.yml and requirements/ change, nothing else
actions/checkout	v5 → v7	v6 stores credentials in a separate file; v7 blocks checking out fork PRs under pull_request_target/workflow_run. This repository uses neither trigger and no workflow pushes with the persisted credentials
actions/setup-python	v6 → v7	ESM migration, and the pip-install input is removed; no workflow passes it (cache: pip is unaffected)
actions/download-artifact	v5 → v8	Hash mismatches now fail by default and non-zip artifacts are no longer unzipped; our dist artifact is a zip uploaded by upload-artifact@v5, which v8 reads
actions/deploy-pages	v4 → v5	Node 24 runtime and polling back-off only

Also in this pull request

Every actions/checkout step now sets persist-credentials: false (11 steps in 5 workflows). CodeRabbit flagged it on the bumped lines; the default stores the workflow token in the git configuration of jobs that then run checked-out code, and no job pushes or fetches with it (the assign-on-comment workflow already did this).

What CI proves, and what it does not

This pull request's own CI exercises checkout and setup-python (ci.yml). The other three live in publish.yml and site-deploy.yml, which run only on a release tag or a push to main, so they are untested until the next release. All three fail closed: a broken download or deploy step stops before anything reaches PyPI or the site. If you want certainty first, merge everything except download-artifact and pypi-publish and try them on a release candidate tag.

Type

• CI / dependency

Testing

• CI (lint, validate, tests on Python 3.10–3.13) on this branch; all workflow files parse; check_ci_failure_masking and the guard-wiring tests pass.

Reviewer's Guide

This CI dependency maintenance PR consolidates five Dependabot updates, upgrading workflow action versions while preserving existing inputs, artifact paths, permissions, and release behavior. Checkout and setup-python changes are exercised by branch CI; download, PyPI publishing, and Pages deployment changes require a release-tag or main-branch execution for end-to-end validation.

Change	Details	Files
Upgrade checkout and Python setup actions across all workflows.	Replace checkout v5 with v7 in CI, nightly, publishing, site deployment, and user manual validation workflows. Replace setup-python v6 with v7 while retaining existing Python versions and pip caching configuration. Verify no workflows use removed setup-python inputs or unsupported checkout trigger/credential patterns.	.github/workflows/ci.yml .github/workflows/nightly.yml .github/workflows/publish.yml .github/workflows/site-deploy.yml .github/workflows/usermanuals-validate.yml
Upgrade artifact transfer actions used by package publishing.	Replace download-artifact v5 with v8 in the publish workflow for test and release artifact downloads. Continue downloading the zipped dist artifact with the existing name and paths; v8's default integrity and extraction behavior should remain compatible.	.github/workflows/publish.yml
Upgrade PyPI publishing and GitHub Pages deployment actions.	Pin PyPI publishing to the verified commit for pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish v1.14.2. Replace deploy-pages v4 with v5, adopting the Node 24 runtime and polling back-off changes.	.github/workflows/publish.yml .github/workflows/site-deploy.yml

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0c517

The action version updates introduce no new merge-blocking risk; credential persistence remains a valid hardening follow-up.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Line 30: Set persist-credentials to false on each of the three
actions/checkout steps in the changed CI jobs, preventing checkout from storing
the workflow token in local Git configuration.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/nightly.yml:
- Around line 26-28: Set persist-credentials to false on every
actions/checkout@v7 step in the nightly workflow, ensuring no checkout retains
credentials for later steps.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/publish.yml:
- Line 21: Set persist-credentials to false in both actions/checkout@v7 steps in
the workflow so neither job leaves the checkout token configured for Git
commands.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/usermanuals-validate.yml:
- Line 37: Update the actions/checkout step in the workflow to disable
credential persistence by setting persist-credentials to false; no later step
requires authenticated Git operations.
