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 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.

`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.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security and Reliability
    • CI workflows now use immutable, commit-pinned action versions instead of mutable tags, improving build reproducibility and auditability.
    • GitHub Pages, validation, code analysis, deployment, notification, caching, and artifact-handling workflows receive the same consistency improvement.
  • Maintenance
    • The automated Rust sweep now uses the master toolchain rather than stable.
    • Existing workflow steps, permissions, job ordering, and inputs remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces mutable GitHub Actions tags and branches with fixed commit SHAs across 17 workflows. It also changes the panicbot sweep Rust toolchain from stable to master.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fa8f

One workflow file now defines the same configuration block twice, which makes that file invalid so the panic-sweep automation would stop running until the duplicate is removed. The added block also switches the Rust channel away from the previously used stable release. The remaining changes only lock action versions and behave as before, so fixing this one file should clear the way for merge.

Keep the Rust toolchain on stable.

The step defines with twice. Remove the added toolchain: master block so the step keeps the pre-change toolchain: stable input.
