what

  • Bump GitHub Actions references in the workflows to versions running on the Node 24 runtime,
    SHA-pinned with precise version comments:
    • actions/checkout@v4@3d3c42e5... # v7.0.1
    • actions/labeler@v5@bf12e9b0... # v7.0.0
    • aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4@e6de0542... # v6.2.3
    • docker/build-push-action@v5@53b7df96... # v7.3.0
    • docker/login-action@v3@dbcb8138... # v4.6.0
    • docker/metadata-action@v5@dc802804... # v6.2.0
    • docker/setup-buildx-action@v3@bb05f3f5... # v4.2.0
    • docker/setup-qemu-action@v3@96fe6ef7... # v4.2.0
    • release-drafter/release-drafter@v6@34d80673... # v7.7.0
    • stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v5@4a55954c... # v7.2.0

why

  • GitHub is deprecating the Node 20 runtime; affected workflows emit a deprecation warning and
    are already being force-migrated to Node 24
  • SHA pinning with a verified tag comment makes the upgrade deliberate and supply-chain-safe,
    matching the org's direction in chore: upgrade actions to Node 24 runtime and enforce SHA pinning .github#261
  • Every pinned SHA was verified against its upstream tag

references

still on Node 20

  • charmbracelet/vhs-action@v2 — no Node 24 release exists yet
  • mszostok/codeowners-validator@v0.7.1 — Docker-based action, not affected by the Node runtime deprecation

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Five GitHub Actions workflows now use pinned action commits. The CODEOWNERS validation job also disables persisted checkout credentials. Workflow logic and build wiring are unchanged.

Changes

Workflow dependency pins

Layer / File(s) Summary
Docker workflow pins
.github/workflows/docker.yml
The workflow now pins checkout, AWS credentials, Docker metadata, QEMU, Buildx, Docker login, and Docker build-push actions to commit hashes.
Release, label, and VHS pins
.github/workflows/draft-release.yml, .github/workflows/label.yml, .github/workflows/vhs.yaml
The release drafting, labeling, and VHS workflows now reference pinned commits for Release Drafter, labeler, checkout, Docker Buildx, and git-auto-commit actions.
CODEOWNERS checkout pin
.github/workflows/validate-codeowners.yml
The checkout step now uses a pinned commit and sets persist-credentials: false.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to a9243

The codeowners validation workflow still persists checkout credentials even though the validator is given its token explicitly, which could expose credentials to later workflow steps. The PR is otherwise mergeable, but this bounded security concern should receive explicit owner follow-up.

Pull request overview

Updates GitHub Actions workflow dependencies to SHA-pinned revisions that run on the Node 24 runtime, reducing supply-chain risk and removing Node 20 deprecation warnings across CI automation.

Changes:

  • Replaced floating action tags (e.g., @v4, @v5) with full commit SHAs plus verified tag comments.
  • Upgraded Docker/AWS and release automation actions to their Node 24–compatible releases.
  • Left explicitly noted exceptions (charmbracelet/vhs-action@v2, mszostok/codeowners-validator@v0.7.1) unchanged as described.
