Remediates GitHub Workflow Dependency Locking (public preview, no changelog entry), which rejects runs at startup_failure — zero jobs, no logs, nothing in REST or GraphQL. Full analysis: hyperpolymath/standards#657.
Proven on hyperpolymath/anamnesis: 6 of 6 workflows dead → 0 startup_failure, 13 running.
Five steps, in order — each blocks the next
1. Unbreak the workflow YAML. Any permissions: carrying a scalar with an indented mapping under it:
permissions: read-allactions: read # <- mapping under a scalar. Unparseable.
This reaches past the one file: gh actions-lock refuses to run when any workflow in the repo fails to parse, so the repo can never acquire a lockfile and can never self-heal.
2. Repin standards reusables off commits with no actions.lock. The rejection requires the callee to be covered at the pinned SHA — unsatisfiable at a pre-lockfile commit.
3. Generate the lockfile with gh actions-lock.
4. Hand-add the reusable-caller entries the tool omits, as '<path>': [].
⚠️ Measured across 218 repos: P(startup_failure | has lockfile) = 91.7% vs 15.8% without — because every workflow a lockfile omits is rejected. A partial lock is worse than none. Running gh actions-lock and stopping there is how this outage spread.
5. Restore SPDX-License-Identifier to line 1, which the tool displaces with its own banner and which the workflow-security linter greps via head -1.

Five steps, in order, because each blocks the next:
1. Unbroke any workflow whose `permissions:` carried a scalar with an
indented mapping under it - blind-permissions-insertion damage. This
matters beyond the one file: gh actions-lock refuses to run when ANY
workflow in the repo fails to parse, so the repo could never acquire a
lockfile and could never self-heal.
2. Repinned hyperpolymath/standards reusables off commits that have no
actions.lock. The rejection requires the CALLEE to be covered at the
pinned SHA, which is unsatisfiable at a pre-lockfile commit.
3. Generated the lockfile with gh actions-lock.
4. Hand-added the reusable-workflow caller entries the tool omits, as
'<path>': []. Measured across 218 repos: P(startup_failure | has
lockfile) = 91.7% vs 15.8% without, because every workflow a lockfile
OMITS is rejected. A PARTIAL lock is worse than none - running
gh actions-lock and stopping there is how this outage spread.
5. Restored SPDX-License-Identifier to line 1, which the tool displaces
with its own banner and which the workflow-security linter greps with
head -1.
Verified before push: 0 unparseable workflows, lockfile covers every
workflow with no omissions, SPDX on line 1 in every file.

No application functionality, release behaviour or public interfaces changed.
Walkthrough
The pull request updates GitHub Actions references across workflow files. It replaces many commit-SHA references with version tags, updates reusable workflow pins and permissions, and adds or removes gh actions-lock comments.

Selected CI, validation, analysis, and release action references now use version tags instead of commit SHAs.
Publishing and distribution action references .github/workflows/instant-sync.yml, .github/workflows/pages.yml, .github/workflows/publish-*.yml, .github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml
Publishing, deployment, notification, and package-dispatch action references now use version tags.
Several files add, remove, or retain the gh actions-lock management comment. Job logic and step inputs remain unchanged in the described action-reference updates.
