The checkout upgrade does not introduce a concrete merge-blocking regression; immutable pins and disabled credential persistence remain worthwhile hardening.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-829 — Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere

Pin the nine changed actions/checkout references to an immutable commit.

A mutable version tag can change action code without a workflow diff. This is minor defense-in-depth hardening, not a repository-mandated control. Replace each actions/checkout@v7 reference with actions/checkout@3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 # v7.0.1.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-522 — Insufficiently Protected Credentials

Disable checkout credential persistence before repository code runs. actions/checkout@v7 persists github.token by default. In the five pull_request CI jobs, fork-controlled code can use the persisted read-only token for authenticated read operations. Set persist-credentials: false on those checkouts.

Set the same option on both manually dispatched deploy checkouts. This removes the checkout token from later repository commands, but it does not enforce trusted refs or protect deployment secrets passed explicitly to deployment scripts.

The repair workflow runs after pushes to feature/sc-022-event-architecture, grants contents: write, and executes repository code after git push. Set persist-credentials: false there and provide a narrowly scoped credential only to the required push command.

In v7, the credential is stored in the runner temporary area rather than .git/config. This exposure is not new to v7 because v4 also persisted credentials by default.

Pin checkout actions to immutable commit SHAs.

actions/checkout@v7 is a mutable tag. Pin the five references to immutable commit SHAs and retain a version comment. The pinned references in .github/workflows/sync-wave-labels.yml show the desired form, but they do not establish a repository-wide mandatory contract.
