调研方向

Start by reading the current lockfile format and its documented limitation for reusable workflows, then inspect how gh actions-lock reads and merges lockfiles. The issue raises alternatives for composite actions but does not settle the format or behavior; clarify the design before implementation. Done means composite action dependencies can be pinned consistently without weakening the integrity guarantees described here.

描述

area:composite-actions feature-request

This is somewhat related to https://github.com/github/gh-actions-lock/issues/139#issuecomment-6259216875 and has come up while I'm working on zizmor's support for lockfiles.

TL;DR: lockfiles are currently workflow-oriented, with reusable workflows as a documented limitation. But how should repos that contain composite actions pin their dependencies?

For example, in zizmor-action, we use the upload-serif action:

https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor-action/blob/fb1d87ba4b2f888025015a269a94ad7e991f6a7b/action.yml#L131

As is, lockfiles leave these kinds of composite actions with a bit of a gap:

  1. We can switch back to ref-pinning, and let downstream users lock as part of their resolution. However, this degrades the integrity/immutability property for users who haven't adopted lockfiles yet (or can't for whatever reason).
  2. We can keep hash-pinning our dependencies in the "old" way, but this is now out of sync with the idiom that's being established for locking workflows. In particular this means that tools like zizmor will need to have two pathways: a lockfile pathway for workflows, and a "you still have to do it the old way" for composite actions.

AFAICT this could be handled by allowing composite actions in the current lockfile format as well (keyed by repo-relative path?), and then having gh actions-lock honor the downstream lockfile when present/merge it into the upstream lockfile.

Alternatively it would be solved by the "intrinsic" idea in https://github.com/github/gh-actions-lock/issues/139#issuecomment-6259216875, since composite action definitions could grow similar dedicated syntax for pinning, etc.
