Scope and validation

• Reviewed the pinned comparison 1680b2c4d63050e8079bb1ab210ca8553ca6967e...3c58d964c858cfa1ea58fcd15d78d434b8a52f79. The change is limited to:
  • .github/workflows/ci.yml:17
  • .github/workflows/release.yml:28
• The new SHA 3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 is the commit referenced by the official actions/checkout v7.0.1 tag and has valid GitHub commit verification.
• Official migration notes identify:
  • v5: Node 24 runtime, requiring Actions Runner v2.327.1 or newer.
  • v6: credentials moved from .git/config to a separate file under $RUNNER_TEMP; normal git fetch/git push behavior remains supported.
  • v7: unsafe fork checkout protection for pull_request_target and workflow_run.
• Both modified jobs use GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest, so the Node 24 runner requirement is satisfied. Neither workflow uses a Docker container action that would require the newer credential-handling runner support.
• Neither workflow uses pull_request_target or workflow_run, so the v7 unsafe-fork checkout restriction does not change their behavior.
• The release workflow performs only local git fetch, tag inspection, and GitHub API-based gh release create; it does not depend on credentials being embedded directly in .git/config.
• fetch-depth: 0 remains configured at .github/workflows/release.yml:29, preserving full history and tag availability for release-version determination.
• The PR’s required CI check completed successfully, exercising the updated checkout action in the CI workflow.

Residual testing gap

The workflow_dispatch release path was not executed by this PR, so its specific full-depth checkout plus release-version flow remains untested until the next release dry run or actual release. This is a residual operational risk rather than a blocking finding because the relevant input and documented checkout semantics are unchanged.

Verdict: approve

No findings require changes. The dispatch-only release path remains a documented residual check for the next real release; CI exercised the same checkout pin and preserved full-history configuration.
