The repository's mandatory Actions security scan (zizmor) fails all PRs with 'unpinned action reference' findings against ci.yml (actions pinned to mutable tags like @v4). Pin all 10 action references to their current commit SHAs, keeping the version tag as a trailing comment for readability and Dependabot compatibility, and set persist-credentials: false on all checkout steps (artipacked audit). Verified locally: zizmor reports zero findings on the pinned workflow.

Summary
The repository's mandatory GitHub Actions security scan (zizmor,
zizmor-outputjob) currently fails every open PR — including #153 — with 10unpinned action referencefindings: all actions inci.ymlare pinned to mutable tags (@v4,@v5,@v6) rather than commit SHAs.This PR fixes the root cause so the security gate goes green repo-wide.

zizmor .github/workflows/ci.ymllocally: zero findings (was: 10 unpinned-refs errors + 3 artipacked mediums)Once this merges, the
zizmor-outputgate should pass for #132, #153, and all future PRs. Dependabot already tracks these actions (.github/dependabot.ymlcovers github-actions) and will keep the pinned SHAs updated automatically.
