Subject: ci: add actionlint workflow to lint GitHub Actions YAML
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f2eef1f0d28d684a841019bdaac8bd8c8de26287;p=thirdparty%2Frsync.git

ci: add actionlint workflow to lint GitHub Actions YAML

Adds .github/workflows/actionlint.yml which runs rhysd/actionlint over
.github/workflows/*.yml on push and PR to master.  Triggers only when
something in .github/workflows/ (or the actionlint config) changes, so
the rest of the platform matrix isn't billed when nothing here moves.

The job downloads a pinned actionlint binary (1.7.12) via the upstream
download script (which verifies a SHA256) -- no third-party Action
dependency, matching the inline-install style of the existing
ubuntu/macos/cygwin workflows.  Bump the pinned version deliberately.

actionlint catches a) GitHub Actions expression / type errors, b)
unsupported runner images, c) missing secrets / inputs, and d) the
embedded shellcheck class of issues in 'run:' scripts that the previous
commit cleaned up.  Keeping it in CI prevents regressions.
