Pull request overview
This PR hardens the repository’s dependency update and CI configuration by (1) ensuring GitHub Actions are referenced by immutable commit SHAs (with accurate version annotations) and (2) configuring Dependabot to manage GitHub Actions updates with a 7‑day cooldown to reduce exposure to newly published compromised releases.
Changes:
- Updated a workflow action reference comment to accurately reflect the pinned
actions/create-github-app-tokenversion. - Added a
github-actionsDependabot update entry, including grouping and a 7‑daycooldown.
