fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs - #387
Merged

Conversation
The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at startup — `startup_failure`, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflows could not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the ref in a trailing comment, e.g. `actions/checkout@<sha> # v4`. `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` takes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained an explicit `with: toolchain:` input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel. No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.

GitHub Actions workflow duplicate mapping key with already defined parser rejects duplicate YAML keys
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
GitHub Actions workflows strictly reject duplicate YAML mapping keys [1][2][3]. While some general-purpose YAML parsers may silently resolve duplicate keys by keeping the last defined value (a "last-wins" behavior), the GitHub Actions runner's schema validator treats duplicate keys as a syntax error [4][5][3]. When a workflow file contains duplicate keys, the GitHub Actions runner typically rejects the file entirely [1][4][5]. This often results in a workflow run that fails to start, appearing with zero jobs and no logs, which can be difficult to debug [4][5][3]. To prevent and identify these issues, it is recommended to: 1. Use a dedicated YAML linter or a tool like actionlint, which is specifically designed to detect duplicate keys and other workflow syntax errors before you push your code [6][1][7]. 2. Ensure that job IDs and other mapping keys are unique throughout the workflow file [1]. 3. Be aware that some key comparisons in GitHub Actions workflow syntax are case-insensitive (e.g., job IDs), meaning that 'test' and 'TEST' would be treated as duplicates [6][7].

Remove the duplicate with mappings from the Rust toolchain steps.
GitHub Actions rejects duplicate mapping keys before the workflow jobs run. Remove the added toolchain: master block and retain toolchain: stable in:
.github/workflows/cargo-audit.yml.github/workflows/chapel-ci.yml.github/workflows/live-provers.yml
This preserves each step's pre-change toolchain behaviour.

GitHub Actions duplicate YAML mapping key workflow validation rejects duplicate keys official
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
Yes. GitHub Actions workflow validation rejects duplicate mapping keys; do not rely on a generic YAML parser’s “last value wins” behavior. GitHub’s official workflow syntax requires workflow files to be YAML and defines structured mappings such as jobs.<job_id>; job IDs must be unique within the jobs object [1]. The official documentation does not appear to publish a dedicated sentence naming the exact error “duplicate mapping key,” but duplicate keys are incompatible with the workflow schema and are rejected during workflow validation rather than safely merged. A practical example is invalid: yaml name: CI on: push: push: branches: [main] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo ok Combine the values under one key instead: yaml name: CI on: push: branches: [main] paths: [&`#39`;src/&`#39`;] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo ok For local validation, actionlint is the strongest directly relevant tool found: its documented checks include missing required keys and duplicate keys, and it states that duplicate keys are not allowed; it also notes that some workflow keys are compared case-insensitively [2]. Its project page describes it as a static checker for GitHub Actions workflows and links its checks to GitHub’s workflow syntax [3]. Thus, duplicates such as matrix and MATRIX, or job IDs test and TEST, can be reported even when a generic YAML loader would accept them [2]. Recommended checks: bash actionlint .github/workflows/*.yml .github/workflows/*.yaml Also inspect the workflow in the Actions/editor validation UI after removing duplicates. Treat duplicate keys anywhere in a mapping—including repeated on triggers, job IDs, steps properties, matrix variables, permissions, or environment entries—as an error and consolidate them into a single mapping entry. GitHub’s syntax reference also explicitly requires unique job identifiers, reinforcing that duplicate logical keys are not a supported workflow construct [1].

Use one with mapping per action step and keep toolchain: stable.
All five cited steps contain duplicate with mappings. GitHub Actions rejects these workflow definitions during validation. Remove the added toolchain: master mapping and retain the existing stable mapping. In .github/workflows/rust-native-reusable.yml, retain components: clippy, rustfmt.
The master comment on the action reference identifies the action revision. It does not select the Rust toolchain.

fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs
The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at
startup —
startup_failure, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflowscould not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the
ref in a trailing comment, e.g.
actions/checkout@<sha> # v4.dtolnay/rust-toolchaintakes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained anexplicit
with: toolchain:input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.
