GitHub Actions has a lockfile now. I ran it on a test repo, then tampered with it. It pins the actions inside composite actions, which a SHA pin in your YAML never reaches. v0.1.6 missed my edited lockfile. v0.2.0 catches it.

GitHub turns off pull_request_target in public repos on November 2. I pulled every workflow file from the 200 most-starred repos. 76 use it, mostly for labels and comments. The Policy insights page in your repo settings shows what would break.

PrismML's ternary Qwen3.8 27B comes as two files. On an RTX 5090, the 7.21 GB one processes prompts over 2x faster than the 5.95 GB one. For agent work I'd take the bigger file. I wrote up the math on where the 1.75 bits go.
