ci: pin actions to full-length commit SHAs - #94
Merged
Conversation
The org Actions policy requires every action to be pinned to a full-length
commit SHA. The movable tags in this workflow are rejected before any job is
created, so every run since 2026-08-21 07:51 UTC ended in `startup_failure`
with no check-runs at all — on `main`, on PRs and on Dependabot branches
alike:
The actions actions/checkout@v7, actions/setup-node@v7,
actions/upload-pages-artifact@v5, and actions/deploy-pages@v5 are not
allowed in owncloud/docs.owncloud.com because all actions must be from a
repository owned by owncloud, created by GitHub, or match one of the
patterns: ...
Pin all four to the commit of the release they already tracked, with the
version in a trailing comment — the same convention as owncloud/docs, which
pins the identical actions/checkout v7.0.1 and actions/setup-node v7.0.0
commits and is unaffected. Dependabot's github-actions ecosystem is already
configured here, so the pins keep getting bumped.
This also unblocks gating `main` on the `build` check: a startup failure
produces no `build` check-run at all, so a required `build` context would
block every merge.

Problem
Every workflow run in this repo since 2026-08-21 07:51 UTC ends in
startup_failurewith zero jobs and zero check-runs — onmain, on PRs andon Dependabot branches alike (runs
#160,
#161,
#162,
#163).
The run annotation:
The org Actions policy requires actions to be pinned to a full-length commit
SHA, so the movable tags are rejected before any job is created. Nothing in
this repo changed — the same file built fine on 2026-08-20 (run #158). It is
not caused by #93 either: run #160 was on an unmodified base.
Fix
Pin all four actions to the commit of the release they already tracked, with
the version in a trailing comment — the same convention as
owncloud/docs,which pins the identical
actions/checkoutv7.0.1 andactions/setup-nodev7.0.0 commits and is unaffected.

Dependabot's
github-actionsecosystem is already configured in.github/dependabot.yml,so the pins keep getting bumped automatically.
Why now
This blocks
owncloud/admin#246, which brings
this repo under safe-settings and gates
mainon thebuildcheck. A startupfailure produces no
buildcheck-run at all, so withbuildrequired everymerge would be blocked.
buildmust report again before that lands.Verification
This PR's own run is the test: it must start and report
buildas a successinstead of
startup_failure.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
