actions/checkout@v4 is a Node 20 action; GitHub Actions is deprecating Node 20 runners (https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/). This bumps to v5, which uses Node 24 and removes the deprecation warning.

  • Chores
    • Updated the automated release and testing workflows to use the latest checkout action version.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Both release and test workflows update actions/checkout from version 4 to version 5.

Changes

Checkout action update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update workflow checkout actions
.github/workflows/release.yaml, .github/workflows/test.yaml
The release and test jobs now use actions/checkout@v5.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2f05d

The workflows now use checkout v5 but leave the action unpinned and retain Git credentials in the test job, increasing supply-chain and credential-exposure risk. Merge should wait for these settings to be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Pin both actions/checkout references to full commit SHAs.

The actions/checkout@v5 references in .github/workflows/release.yaml and .github/workflows/test.yaml violate the repository convention. Replace each reference with the full 40-character SHA for the selected v5 release and retain a version comment.

Defang CLI compose deploy build context .git/config credentials workspace packaging

💡 Result:

The Defang CLI streamlines the transition from local Docker Compose files to scalable cloud deployments [1]. When using defang compose up, the CLI manages your build context and environment configuration as follows: Build Context and Packaging The Defang CLI uses the build context specified in your compose.yaml file to package your application code for deployment [2][3]. The CLI imposes a default build context size limit of 100 MiB, which can be adjusted via the DEFANG_BUILD_CONTEXT_LIMIT environment variable [4][5]. During the deployment process, the CLI prepares the project to be compatible with cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., S3-compatible paths), which includes processing the build context before uploading [6]. Credentials and Configuration Defang handles credentials and sensitive information outside of your code files using a dedicated configuration system [7]. Sensitive values should not be hardcoded in your compose.yaml file. Instead, list the environment variable name with a blank or null value in your compose file, and use the defang config set command to manage the actual secret values [7][3]. Defang resolves configuration variables based on a precedence order:.env files, standard Docker Compose environment variables, and finally Defang config [7]. Workspaces Workspaces are used to manage project isolation and deployment targets [8]. You can specify a workspace using the --workspace flag or the DEFANG_WORKSPACE environment variable [8][9]. When using CI/CD integrations like GitHub Actions with OIDC, the repository owner typically determines the tenant context automatically, removing the need for manual workspace selection in those pipelines [8][10]. Note on.git/config The Defang CLI does not explicitly document special handling for .git/config credentials during the upload of the build context. As with standard Docker builds, it is recommended to ensure that sensitive files like .git/config (which may contain credentials) are excluded from your build context, typically by using a .dockerignore file, to prevent them from being bundled into your container image or uploaded during deployment.

Pin checkout and disable credential persistence.

This step violates the repository convention because actions/checkout@v5 is not pinned to a full commit SHA. Pin it with a version comment. The local ./ action does not require the caller checkout’s Git credentials, so add persist-credentials: false. Its ./test build context does not include the repository-root .git/config.
