Remove local helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests override - #3516
Conversation
This preset is now provided by the org-wide Renovate config at conforma/.github, so the local override is no longer needed. Resolves: EC-2080 Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Removing the local Renovate preset before the shared configuration is updated would disable GitHub Actions digest pinning and weaken supply-chain protection. Merge after the shared configuration includes the preset, or retain the local override. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

💡 Result:
The helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests preset is a built-in configuration helper in Renovate designed to improve security by pinning GitHub Actions to their full-length commit SHA [1][2][3]. When you add this preset to your Renovate configuration (e.g., in your renovate.json file), Renovate will automatically open a pull request to convert your workflow references from mutable tags (like @v4) to immutable SHA pins [4]. Key details include: - Security Best Practice: Pinning to a SHA prevents supply chain attacks where a tag is overwritten or redirected to malicious code [3]. - How it works: Upon the first run, Renovate converts your actions to SHA pins and typically includes the version tag as an inline comment (e.g., # v4) so you can still identify the underlying version [4]. - Maintenance: Renovate will continue to monitor the tag/version and will open future PRs to bump both the SHA and the version comment when updates are available [4]. - Usage: Add the preset to the extends array in your configuration file: { "extends": ["helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests"] } If you prefer to keep actions pinned to their SemVer versions while still benefiting from digest-like behaviors, there is a related preset called helpers:pinGitHubActionDigestsToSemver that converts digests to SemVer [2][5].

Keep local digest pinning until conforma/.github#85 is merged.
conforma/.github#85 is still open, and the shared main configuration does not include helpers:pinGitHubActionDigests. This change therefore leaves Renovate without GitHub Actions digest pinning. Retain the local preset until the shared configuration includes it.
