Summary

Upgrade GitHub Actions to their latest versions for improved features, bug fixes, and security updates.

Changes

Action Old Version(s) New Version Release Files
google-github-actions/auth v2 v3 Release kernelctf-auto-releaser.yaml, kernelctf-release-build.yaml, kernelctf-submission-verification.yaml, kernelctf-verify-all.yaml

Why upgrade?

Keeping GitHub Actions up to date ensures:

  • Security: Latest security patches and fixes
  • Features: Access to new functionality and improvements
  • Compatibility: Better support for current GitHub features
  • Performance: Optimizations and efficiency improvements

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • google-github-actions/auth (v2 → v3): Major version upgrade — review the release notes for breaking changes
    • ⚠️ Input retries was removed — if your workflow uses it, the step may fail
    • ⚠️ Input backoff was removed — if your workflow uses it, the step may fail
    • ⚠️ Input backoff_limit was removed — if your workflow uses it, the step may fail

Security Note

Actions that were previously pinned to commit SHAs remain pinned to SHAs (updated to the latest release SHA) to maintain the security benefits of immutable references.

Testing

These changes only affect CI/CD workflow configurations and should not impact application functionality. The workflows should be tested by running them on a branch before merging.
