Research direction

Start by reviewing blocked issue 27 and GitHub's repository and organisation-level imported-action restriction settings. Define the known-good allowlist and enforcement scope, then verify that organisation-wide restrictions are applied.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

GitHub allows restricting imported GitHub Actions at either the GitHub Repository and/or GitHub Organisation level, with the latter taking precedence.

Currently, there's no org-wide allowlist that's being enforced.

This issue is to track creating that allowlist, so as to enforce use of known-good GitHub Actions.
