Description

This PR introduces the action-version-consistency-scan.yml reusable workflow to consume the JSON results generated by Test-ActionVersionConsistency.ps1. The new workflow uploads the generated SARIF to the GitHub Security tab, publishes JSON/SARIF results as workflow artifacts, and surfaces compliance metrics as job outputs.
It also wires up the new scan into our primary orchestrators:

  • .github/workflows/pr-validation.yml
  • .github/workflows/release-stable.yml
    This matches the established reference patterns used by dependency-pinning-scan.yml and workflow-permissions-scan.yml.

Fixes #1034

Type of Change

Select all that apply:
Code & Documentation:

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change fixing an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change adding functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature causing existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Infrastructure & Configuration:

  • GitHub Actions workflow
  • Linting configuration (markdown, PowerShell, etc.)
  • Security configuration
  • DevContainer configuration
  • Dependency update

Other:

  • Script/automation (.ps1, .sh, .py)
  • Other (please describe):

Testing

The new workflow was tested in my own fork by temporarily pushing the changes to the main branch to trigger the full GitHub Actions suite.

  • Verified that the Test-ActionVersionConsistency.ps1 script runs correctly within the new reusable workflow.
  • Verified that SARIF results are generated and uploaded correctly.
  • Confirmed that the Job Summary is properly generated and displays the compliance metrics.

Checklist

Required Checks

  • Documentation is updated (if applicable)
  • Files follow existing naming conventions
  • Changes are backwards compatible (if applicable)
  • Tests added for new functionality (if applicable)

Required Automated Checks

The following validation commands must pass before merging:

  • Markdown linting: npm run lint:md
  • Spell checking: npm run spell-check
  • Frontmatter validation: npm run lint:frontmatter
  • Skill structure validation: npm run validate:skills
  • Link validation: npm run lint:md-links
  • PowerShell analysis: npm run lint:ps
  • Plugin freshness: npm run plugin:generate

Security Considerations

  • This PR does not contain any sensitive or NDA information
  • Any new dependencies have been reviewed for security issues
  • Security-related scripts follow the principle of least privilege

Additional Notes

The action-version-consistency-scan uses the exact same workflow_call input signatures (soft-fail, upload-sarif, upload-artifact) as the other security scanning workflows to maintain consistency across our CI pipelines.

Fixes microsoft#1034 by adding a reusable workflow for action version consistency scanning
and integrating it into pr-validation.yml and release-stable.yml.

What Enabling Code Scanning Means:

  • The 'Security' tab will display more code scanning analysis results (e.g., for the default branch).
  • Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results.
  • You will be able to see the analysis results for the pull request's branch on this overview once the scans have completed and the checks have passed.
