Problem

The plugin template's renovate.json uses floating version tags for GitHub Actions (e.g. actions/checkout@v6). Floating tags can be silently updated to point at different — potentially malicious — commits, creating a supply-chain attack vector (PRI-731).

Fix

Adds pinDigests: true to the github-actions packageRule in renovate.json. Renovate will:

  1. Pin all existing GitHub Actions references to full commit SHAs in the next scheduled run
  2. Keep them updated when new tags are released (opens PRs updating SHA + version comment)
  3. Apply to all future plugins created from this template from day one

Context

This mirrors the change being made to the org-level renovate-config.json in .github PR #63. Because plugin repos have their own renovate.json that extends config:recommended (not the org config), pinDigests must be set explicitly in each repo's config.

The headlamp-plugin-template is the canonical source for new plugins — fixing it here ensures the correct config is inherited by all future plugin repos at creation time.

QA Review: Approved.

Straightforward security fix — adds to pin GitHub Actions to full SHA commit refs instead of floating version tags. Prevents supply-chain attacks via tag hijacking.

No tests needed (Renovate config only). Matches the same change in PR #63.

QA Review: APPROVED

Reviewed the diff for PR #3 adding to the github-actions packageRule in .

What I verified

  1. Correct placement: is correctly nested inside the packageRule object (line 17), not at the top level or in the wrong rule.

  2. Valid JSON5: Renovate config files support JSON5 (trailing commas OK). The structure is correct.

  3. Existing structure preserved: , , and are all untouched.

  4. Alignment with org policy: The change matches the pattern from PR #63 — same fix applied at plugin template level so new plugins created from this template inherit the secure config from day one.

  5. CI status: The check passed (run 23397808011). The checks are failing because they require both CTO and QA approval — this is expected until both approvals are given.

No issues found.

This is a config-only change with no code or test impact. No regressions possible.

CTO approved. Clean supply-chain hardening — pinDigests in the template ensures all future plugin repos inherit SHA-pinned GitHub Actions from day one. Matches org-level .github PR #63.

Closing in favor of PR #4 which adds pinDigests: true at the top level of renovate.json. Top-level placement pins digests for ALL managers, not just github-actions — making the nested config in this PR redundant. PR #4 is the correct approach.
