New Features 🌈🔗

• zizmor now has experimental support for GitHub Actions workflow lockfiles. Please see the limitations documentation for more information about the current implementation and its limitations (#2463)

Enhancements 🌱🔗

• zizmor's input collection is now "root-aware" by default, meaning that invocations like zizmor . will no longer collect inputs unless they would actually be used by GitHub Actions, etc. This should eliminate spurious findings from (e.g.) workflow definitions in vendored directories. See the input collection documentation for more information. (#2454)

• zizmor's LSP now honors the didChangeWorkspaceFolders event (#2461)

• zizmor's LSP now audits pre-commit inputs (#2485)

• zizmor now provides Windows ARM64 wheels on PyPI (#2424)

  Many thanks to @ndabas for proposing and implementing this improvement!

Bug Fixes 🐛🔗

• Fixed a bug where the bot-conditions audit did not properly flag if: condition of jobs that call a reusable workflow (#2457)

• Fixed a bug where the obfuscation audit would incorrectly flag (and suggest an incorrect auto-fix for) expressions that constant-reduce to other expressions (#2483)

New Features 🌈🔗

• zizmor now has experimental support for auditing pre-commit inputs, meaning both pre-commit configuration and hook definitions (#2209)

• New audit: insecure-url-scheme detects usages of insecure (i.e. plaintext) protocols when making network requests. The initial version of this audit is limited to pre-commit inputs only (#2228)

• zizmor now supports GitHub's "self-repository" reference syntax for local actions, e.g. uses: $/foo/bar instead of a manual checkout and uses: ./foo/bar (#2248)

Changes ⚠️🔗

• The unpinned-uses and unpinned-images audits have been separated more cleanly: unpinned-uses is now principally responsible for Git-style uses: clauses, whereas unpinned-images is now responsible for docker://-style uses: clauses (in addition to already checking other image references) (#2222)

Removals 🌅🔗

• --collect=workflows-only and --collect=actions-only have been fully removed. Use --collect=workflows and --collect=actions for the replacement behavior (#2242)

• Fixed a class of bugs where zizmor would discover the user's configuration in unintuitive ways. When auditing from a Git repository, zizmor now uses the repository root to discover configuration consistently (#2234)
