Automated Checks (advisory, non-blocking)

✅ All checks passed.

Standards Compliance

The actions/checkout bump itself is fine, but the touched workflow still contains a visible mismatch with the loaded Python CI standard:

- name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
  uses: actions/setup-python@v5

Surmado’s standard says Python CI should use astral-sh/setup-uv@v5 — not actions/setup-python — with uv managing the environment and test commands. Because this PR edits .github/workflows/ci.yml, I’d flag that as a standing standards violation worth fixing here or in a near-term follow-up. Risk: this repo’s CI keeps drifting from the org’s reproducible Python setup pattern.

Internal Docs Alignment

No contradiction with the live branching/release docs — this PR only changes a workflow dependency.
Only docs mismatch I see is the same Python CI tooling issue above: the workflow remains out of alignment with the org’s setup-uv guidance.

Summary

This PR is a narrow CI maintenance change: it bumps actions/checkout in .github/workflows/ci.yml from v4 to v7. That keeps the blast radius low, but since it’s a major action jump, the main things to validate are workflow/runtime compatibility and whether we want to keep carrying forward the non-standard Python CI setup.
Reviewer: most of the risk is in .github/workflows/ci.yml compatibility and standards drift — there’s no application-code impact.

What to pay attention to

  • .github/workflows/ci.yml runtime compatibility — actions/checkout moved several major versions here, so the meaningful risk is whether the current runner environment still supports it cleanly.
  • Same file’s Python setup step — this is a good touchpoint to decide whether to align CI with the org-standard setup-uv flow instead of leaving actions/setup-python in place.

Things I noticed

🔴 Red flags — fix before merge:

  • .github/workflows/ci.yml remains non-compliant with the loaded Python CI standard. The workflow still uses actions/setup-python@v5, while the standard explicitly requires astral-sh/setup-uv@v5 for Python repos.

🟡 Yellow flags — consider for this PR or a follow-up:

  • This skips multiple major versions of actions/checkout (v4 → v7). That’s probably fine if CI is green, but if any jobs use self-hosted runners, I’d verify runner compatibility before automerging.

Good patterns

  • Nice low-blast-radius dependency bump: one workflow line changed, no product code touched.
  • The upstream actions/checkout release includes tighter fork-PR checkout behavior, so this is directionally a security-positive upgrade.

Suggested improvements

  1. Migrate this workflow from actions/setup-python to astral-sh/setup-uv@v5, and run install/test steps via uv, to match the org standard.
  2. If this repo uses self-hosted runners anywhere, explicitly verify the runner version requirement for actions/checkout@v7 before merging.
  3. If you don’t want to expand this Dependabot PR, open a follow-up issue/PR for the CI standards migration so the mismatch in the touched workflow doesn’t linger.

Questions for the author

  • Does this repo run only on GitHub-hosted runners, or do we have any self-hosted runners that should be validated against actions/checkout@v7 first?
  • Since .github/workflows/ci.yml is already being edited, do we want to take this chance to switch the Python setup step to the standard setup-uv pattern?
