* ci: pin third party actions to commit SHAs
A tag or branch ref is a movable pointer, whoever controls the action
repository can repoint it and the next run executes their code with
this repo's secrets, here the Docker Hub tokens and the container
publish path. The March 2025 tj-actions/changed-files incident
(CVE-2025-30066) worked exactly that way. Each pin keeps the resolved
tag in a comment and dependabot's weekly github-actions config bumps
SHA pins like tags, so they self-maintain. The pypi publish action
moves from the floating release/v1 branch to its current release.
* ci: declare least-privilege workflow permissions
Without a permissions block every job token inherits the repository
default scope. Each workflow now declares what it uses. The test and
build workflows get read-only tokens, CodeQL keeps its code scanning
upload, the container publish job keeps packages write for the ghcr
push, and the pypi publish job already carried its own id-token block
for trusted publishing, untouched.
* ci: pass release metadata to inline scripts through env
The two debug steps interpolated the release tag name and the
workflow_run branch directly into bash. Those strings are event
metadata that can carry shell syntax, and the workflow runs on
release events with the publish credentials in reach. Routed through
env they arrive as plain data, output unchanged.
* ci: stop persisting the checkout token in .git/config
actions/checkout writes the job token into .git/config so later steps can
push. None of these 21 jobs push with git: the containers are published
with registry credentials, PyPI uses trusted publishing, and the test
and CodeQL jobs only read the tree. A token left in .git/config is one
more credential for a compromised step or a packed artifact to pick up,
so each checkout now sets persist-credentials: false.
