PR Review: chore(deps): update rhysd/actionlint docker tag to v1.7.8

Summary

This PR updates the actionlint Docker image from v1.7.7 to v1.7.8, a patch version update for the GitHub Actions workflow linter. The change is automatically generated by Renovate bot and follows the repository's dependency management practices.

Code Quality and Best Practices ✅

• Well-structured: The change follows the existing pattern for dependency version management in the Makefile
• Renovate comment preserved: The # renovate: depName=rhysd/actionlint comment is properly maintained, ensuring future automated updates work correctly
• Version pinning: Uses both semantic version and SHA256 digest for enhanced security and reproducibility
• Conventional Commits: The PR title follows the Angular conventional commits format (chore(deps):)

Potential Bugs or Issues ✅

• No issues identified: This is a straightforward version bump with both version and digest updated
• Hash updated correctly: The SHA256 digest (96d4a8c87dbbfb3bdd324f8fdc285fc3df5261e2decc619a4dd7e8ee52bbfd46) corresponds to the new v1.7.8 image
• No breaking changes: Patch version updates in actionlint typically include bug fixes and minor improvements without breaking changes

Performance Considerations ✅

• Minimal impact: Actionlint is a linting tool used in CI/CD, not in production runtime
• Docker layer caching: The change only affects the version variable, so Docker layer caching should remain effective
• CI execution time: Patch updates to linters rarely impact execution time significantly

Security Concerns ✅

• SHA256 pinning: Excellent security practice - the digest ensures the exact image is pulled even if tags are modified
• Trusted source: rhysd/actionlint is a well-maintained, popular GitHub Actions linting tool
• Supply chain security: Using Renovate for automated updates helps keep dependencies current with security patches
• Recommendation: The dual version+digest approach (e.g., 1.7.8@sha256:...) is security best practice ✨

Test Coverage ✅

• Existing CI coverage: The check-github-actions-workflows-linting target in Makefile (line 74-76) uses this version
• Workflow integration: .github/workflows/github-actions-workflows.yml runs this check on every PR
• Implicit testing: The CI pipeline will validate that the new version works correctly with existing workflows
• No additional tests needed: Linter version updates don't require new test cases

Recommendations

1. Approve and merge: This is a safe, well-managed dependency update
2. Monitor CI: Watch the CI pipeline to ensure the new actionlint version works as expected
3. Auto-merge: Given that auto-merge is enabled and this is a patch update from a trusted source, allowing auto-merge is appropriate

Overall Assessment

LGTM ✅ This is a clean, secure dependency update following all best practices. The change:

• Maintains version pinning with cryptographic verification
• Follows conventional commit standards
• Preserves automation-friendly comments
• Updates both version and digest correctly

No blocking issues identified. Safe to merge.
