Description

**Target repository:** `github/gh-aw-threat-detection` (referenced as plain text, not linked)
**Lane:** routine — GitHub Actions ecosystem
**Mode:** review (no live PR created; artifact-backed review bundle published instead)

## Summary
`.github/workflows/license-check.yml` in the target repository pins three GitHub Actions to older SHAs than the versions already used elsewhere in that same repository's other workflows. This is low-risk CI-only drift with no runtime impact.

**Action:** A maintainer with write access to `github/gh-aw-threat-detection` should review the attached review bundle artifact and, if satisfied, manually apply the patch and open a PR (or re-run this workflow in `live` mode against that repo).

## Proposed change

| Action | Old pin | New pin |
|---|---|---|
| `actions/checkout` | `de0fac2e4500...` # v6.0.2 | `3d3c42e5aac5...` # v7.0.1 |
| `actions/setup-go` | `3041bf56c941...` # v5.2.0 | `b7ad1dad31e0...` # v7.0.0 |
| `actions/upload-artifact` | `ea165f8d65b6...` # v4.6.0 | `043fb46d1a93...` # v7.0.1 |

These new SHA→tag mappings are already used successfully in other workflows in the same repository (e.g. `agentics-maintenance.yml`), so this simply removes ecosystem drift within one repo rather than introducing a new external dependency.

## Risk assessment
- CI-only scope (license compliance workflow), no application/runtime code touched.
- No auth, crypto, payment, database, serialization, or telemetry surfaces affected.
- Minor version bumps of first-party, actively-maintained GitHub Actions.

## Validation
No executable validation was possible in this run (GitHub Actions runner not available in the review sandbox). The SHA/tag pairs were cross-verified against existing usages in the same repository's other workflow files.

## Full review bundle
A full review bundle (before/after files, unified diff, and detailed validation notes) has been published as a workflow artifact via `publish_review_bundle` (bundle: `gh-actions-license-check-pin-refresh`, target repo: `github/gh-aw-threat-detection`).

Research direction

Review .github/workflows/license-check.yml in github/gh-aw-threat-detection and compare its action pins with usages in agentics-maintenance.yml. Inspect the gh-actions-license-check-pin-refresh review bundle first; done means the three listed SHA pins match the approved versions and the workflow diff is ready for a maintainer to apply and validate.
