Summary

Fix the Scorecard workflow so SARIF artifact handling works reliably and the workflow remains compatible with current GitHub Actions behavior.

Changes

  • Updated the workflow to use a supported checkout action reference
  • Switched the artifact upload step to a current supported upload action
  • Renamed the SARIF artifact to a simple lowercase name to avoid artifact validation issues
  • Added a follow-up job to download and inspect the SARIF artifact after analysis

Behaviour

  • The Scorecard workflow now uploads the SARIF artifact with a valid name
  • The workflow can continue through artifact handling without tripping on unsupported or invalid artifact configuration
  • The SARIF artifact is available for inspection in a dedicated follow-up job

Why

  • The previous workflow configuration used artifact handling that was causing reliability issues in the Scorecard job
  • The artifact name needed to be simplified to comply with GitHub Actions validation rules
  • The workflow needed a more robust structure for handling SARIF outputs

Validation

  • Reviewed the workflow changes against the existing Scorecard setup
  • Confirmed the updated workflow uses supported action references and artifact handling
  • Verified the branch has been pushed and is ready for review

Result

The Scorecard workflow is now scoped to a focused fix for artifact handling and is ready for review as a separate PR.

Notes

  • This PR is intentionally limited to the Scorecard workflow fix and does not include unrelated Pages or dependency changes.

Hi @leestott, Thanks for the review!

I’ve updated the workflow in fix-scorecard-workflow:

  • pinned actions/upload-artifact and actions/download-artifact to immutable commit SHAs
  • fixed the SARIF inspection step to read results-sarif/results.sarif after download

The branch has been pushed, and it’s ready for Copilot review again.
