Template drift vs. renovate: pin bumps in governed files re-open drift fleet-wide every cycle #353

Description

@CybotTM

Renovate auto-merges action-pin bumps inside the consumers' drift-governed workflow files (e.g. step-security/harden-runner v2.20.1 in checks.yml, 2026-08-05 14:40 UTC). From that moment every consumer differs from templates/typo3-extension again and the drift check goes red fleet-wide — until someone lifts the template to the same pin (#346) and re-runs the drift jobs. This race repeats on every renovate cycle that touches a governed file.

Two structural options, pick one: (a) renovate covers templates/ in this repo with priority/automerge, so the template moves first (or at least same-day) and consumers converge through their normal renovate PRs; (b) scripts/drift_compare.py learns pin-tolerance for uses: SHAs (compare action identity and comment tag, ignore the pinned SHA), so pin-only divergence is a notice, not a failure.
