Subject: [PATCH 02/18] Harden GitHub Actions workflows

- Pin every action ref to a full-length commit SHA with a trailing
  version comment, so floating tags like @v4 can't be re-pointed at
  malicious code.
- Bump outdated actions/checkout@v1 to @v4.3.1 (where present).
- Tag-triggered workflows now check out with fetch-depth: 1 and
  fetch-tags: true so the tag ref is available downstream.
- release-tracker.yml grants contents: write at the job level so the
  default GITHUB_TOKEN can push commits/tags back to the repo.
