- Using the commit SHA of a released action version is the safest for stability and security.

This is not true for stability in practice: the action often depends on a specific Node version (which may not be supported by the runner at some point) and/or a versioned API that becomes unsupported. I've had better luck with @main.





Depends what you mean by stability. The post is complaining about the lack of lockfiles, and the problem you describe would also be an issue with lockfiles.

The underlying problem is that you can't keep using the same version, and one way it fails ruins the workaround for a different failure.
