Description
Routine freshness update identified for target repository `githubnext/gh-aw-workshop`.
**Action:** A maintainer with write access to `githubnext/gh-aw-workshop` should review the attached bundle and open a PR there bumping `actions/checkout@v7.0.0` → `v7.0.1` in `.github/workflows/manual-semver-release.md` (line 123), then run `gh aw compile` to regenerate `manual-semver-release.lock.yml`. Acceptance check: the compiled lock file's checkout step resolves to commit `3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1` and CI passes.
### What changed
- Ecosystem: GitHub Actions
- Manifest: `.github/workflows/manual-semver-release.md`
- Old version: `actions/checkout@v7.0.0`
- New version: `actions/checkout@v7.0.1`
- Update type: patch
### Why now
`githubnext/gh-aw-workshop` has no application dependency manifests (package.json/requirements.txt/go.mod/etc.) — it's a workshop content repo. Its only dependency surface is pinned GitHub Actions in `.github/workflows/*.md` (gh-aw sources). All other `actions/checkout` and `actions/github-script` pins across its compiled `.lock.yml` files already resolve to current releases (checkout SHA `3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1` = v7.0.1, github-script SHA `3a2844b7e9c422d3c10d287c895573f7108da1b3` = v9.0.0). The one exception is `manual-semver-release.md`, which hardcodes the stale tag `actions/checkout@v7.0.0` — one patch behind current `v7.0.1` (bugfix release, no breaking changes: https://github.com/actions/checkout/releases/tag/v7.0.1).
Risk assessment
- Scope: CI/build tooling only (checkout step in a release-automation workflow), not application runtime.
- Direct, explicit pin.
- v7.0.1 is patch-level: unsafe PR input check skip, branch-name whitespace trim, `--unset` value escaping. No API/behavior breaking changes.
- Confidence: high. Merge candidate: yes (non-major, no security concern, clean single-line change).
Validation
- Confirmed via GitHub Releases API that `v7.0.1` is current (published 2026-07-20) and resolves to SHA `3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1`, matching the SHA already used elsewhere in the repo's compiled lock files.
- Scanned all `.github/workflows/*.md` and `*.yml` in the target repo for `uses:` pins; only this one stale pin found.
- Not validated: could not run `gh aw compile` to regenerate `manual-semver-release.lock.yml` — this control repo's local gh-aw CLI (v0.88.2) is older than its own required min-version (v0.88.4), and regenerating the target's lock file requires the target repo's own toolchain/CI.
Rollback guidance
Revert the single line change (`actions/checkout@v7.0.1` → `v7.0.0`) in `manual-semver-release.md` and re-run `gh aw compile` to restore the previous lock file.
A full review bundle (patch file, diff, validation notes) was published as a workflow artifact for this run.

Research direction
In githubnext/gh-aw-workshop, update the checkout pin at line 123 of .github/workflows/manual-semver-release.md, then run gh aw compile to regenerate manual-semver-release.lock.yml. Confirm the compiled checkout step resolves to commit 3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1 and that CI passes; this requires write access to the target repository.
