+# GitHub Action Pinning Policy
+
+> **Status:** Active (2026-09-01)  
+> **Scope:** All ThemisDB CI/CD workflows  
+> **Objective:** Balance security, reliability, and cross-platform compatibility
+
+## Overview
+
+Version pinning for third-party GitHub Actions is governed by a **4-tier classification** that reduces cross-compilation friction (Docker/Linux/macOS/Windows) while maintaining security for critical workflows.
+
+---
+
+## Tier Classification
+
+### Tier 1: MUST PIN (Security/Stability Critical)
+
+**Requirement:** Full commit SHA pins (immutable reference)  
+**Format:** `uses: owner/action@<40-char-sha> # v<semver>`
+
+**Actions:**
+- `github/codeql-action` — Static analysis gate; any unexpected version change risks security bypass
+- `aquasecurity/fortify-action` — SAST compliance gate
+- `github/security-consolidation` — Security correlation and reporting
+- `softprops/action-gh-release` — Release signing and credential handling
+- `./.github/actions/status-flags-and-issues` — Private plugin boundary enforcement
+- `./.github/actions/manage-governance-issue` — Governance tracker mutations
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Prevents security bypass via silent action upgrades
+- Protects sensitive workflows that manage credentials, signing, or access control
+- Repository-internal actions require SHA pins to prevent accidental regressions
+
+**Review Cadence:** Quarterly; any upgrade requires security sign-off
+
+---
+
+### Tier 2: SHOULD PIN (Reliability Critical)
+
+**Requirement:** Semantic version tag (e.g., `@v4`) or broken SHA pin  
+**Format:** `uses: owner/action@v<major> # <semver description>`
+
+**Actions:**
+- `actions/checkout` — Repo state is critical to all builds
+- `actions/upload-artifact` — Test/build artifacts; may break if format changes
+- `actions/download-artifact` — Artifact consumption
+- `actions/setup-python` — Runtime selection for Python-based CI jobs
+- `actions/setup-node` — Runtime selection for Node.js CI jobs
+- `mozilla-actions/sccache-action` — Compiler cache setup
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Stability: Major version bumps are rare and signal real changes
+- Compatibility: Patch and minor updates typically fix bugs and improve reliability
+- Reduces maintenance burden: No need to chase every point release
+- Allows cross-platform registry servers to resolve tags independently
+
+**Review Cadence:** Semi-annually; upgrade on major version changes or security advisories
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v4
+  # Allows v4.0.0, v4.1.0, v4.2.2, etc.
+  # Pin to v4 to auto-receive fixes within major version
+```
+
+---
+
+### Tier 3: OPTIONAL PIN (Cross-Compilation Friendly)
+
+**Requirement:** Semantic version tag (`@v0`, `@v1`) or `@latest`  
+**Format:** `uses: owner/action@v<major> # <purpose>`
+
+**Actions:**
+- `anchore/sbom-action` — SBOM generation (non-critical tooling)
+- `aquasecurity/trivy-action` — Dependency scanning (non-fatal advisory)
+- `actions-rs/clippy-check` — Linting (fail-soft only)
+- `github-super-linter/super-linter` — Format checking
+- Custom linters/formatters (eslint, pylint, shellcheck via containers)
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Enables cross-platform builds to resolve versions independently
+- Docker/Ubuntu/macOS registries may have divergent tag histories with full SHAs
+- Improves workflow resilience when registries are under stress
+- Simplifies local action validation in different environments
+
+**Review Cadence:** Annually; subscribe to security advisories
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+- uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@v0
+  # Allow v0.0.x, v0.1.x, v0.2.x
+  # Platform registries resolve tag independently
+```
+
+---
+
+### Tier 4: DYNAMIC VERSIONS (Maximum Compatibility)
+
+**Requirement:** `@latest` or no version specifier  
+**Format:** `uses: owner/action` or `uses: owner/action@latest`
+
+**Actions:**
+- Development/debugging tools (ad-hoc tracing, log capture)
+- Temporary artifact exploration or diagnostics
+- CI health dashboards and non-blocking observability jobs
+- Preview features or experimental workflows (with clear exit date)
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Maximum cross-platform flexibility
+- No risk to critical paths (observability-only or non-blocking)
+- Simplest maintenance model for ephemeral jobs
+
+**Review Cadence:** None required; mark with `# temporary`, `# debug`, or removal target date
+
+**Example:**
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/upload-artifact@latest  # temporary: debugging issue #12345
+- uses: some/tool  # will be removed after build stabilization (target: 2026-12-01)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tier Transition & Review Process
+
+### Upgrading Within Tier
+- **Tier 1 → Tier 1:** Requires security team approval
+- **Tier 2 → Tier 2:** Auto-update to latest within major version; document in PR
+- **Tier 3 → Tier 3:** Auto-update; no approval needed
+- **Tier 4 → Tier 4:** Auto-update; implicit (always latest)
+
+### Moving Between Tiers
+- **Tier 1 ↔ Tier 2:** MUST include governance document update + security sign-off
+- **Tier 2 ↔ Tier 3:** Reassess workflow safety; document rationale in PR
+- **Any → Tier 4:** Only for non-critical/temporary jobs; include removal plan
+
+### Deprecation Path
+1. Mark action as deprecated with GitHub issue + PR comment
+2. Notify maintainers of dependent workflows
+3. Provide 2-week notice before enforcement
+4. Migrate to replacement or remove non-critical workflow
+
+---
+
+## Tier 1 Allowlist (Security-Critical Actions)
+
+These actions MUST always use full SHA pins:
+
+| Action | Reason | Last Reviewed |
+|--------|--------|---|
+| `github/codeql-action` | SAST gate; prevents silent security bypass | 2026-09-01 |
+| `aquasecurity/fortify-action` | SAST/DAST compliance gate | 2026-09-01 |
+| `softprops/action-gh-release` | Release signing & credential handling | 2026-09-01 |
+| `./.github/actions/status-flags-and-issues` | Private plugin boundary enforcement | 2026-09-01 |
+| `./.github/actions/manage-governance-issue` | Governance tracker mutations | 2026-09-01 |
+| `actions/create-release` (if used) | Release artifact signing | 2026-09-01 |
+
+---
+
+## Docker Base Image Versioning
+
+### Policy
+- **ubuntu:latest** — Preferred for CI (Ubuntu LTS patches automatically)
+- **ubuntu:24.04** — Allowed for LTS stability; prefer ubuntu:latest
+- **ubuntu:22.04** — Legacy; mark as deprecated; migrate to ubuntu:24.04 or latest
+- **python:3.11-slim** — Preferred; allows Python 3.11.x patch updates
+- **python:3.11-slim-bookworm** — Lock to Debian Bookworm; use only if required
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Base image minor version pins prevent cross-platform Docker pulls from diverging
+- `ubuntu:latest` and `python:3.x-slim` allow patch updates (critical for security)
+- Explicit `-bookworm` locks break compatibility with non-Debian registries
+
+---
+
+## sccache Version Pinning
+
+**Current Policy:** Remove explicit version pin in `setup-cpp-build/action.yml`
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `mozilla-actions/sccache-action@v0.0.6` already pins to a stable action version
+- Double-pinning (`version: "v0.8.1"`) creates cache invalidation across platforms
+- Allow sccache-action to manage its own version compatibility
+
+**Change:**
+```yaml
+# OLD (remove explicit version pin)
+- uses: mozilla-actions/sccache-action@<sha>
+  with:
+    version: "v0.8.1"  # ← REMOVE THIS
+
+# NEW (let sccache-action manage version)
+- uses: mozilla-actions/sccache-action@v0.0.6
+  # Action will use its default sccache version
+```
+
+---
+
+## Compliance & Enforcement
+
+### CI Gates
+- **gate-pr-core.yml** validates that Tier 1 actions use full SHA pins
+- **No enforcement** for Tier 2-4 (permissive; prefer documentation over CI gates)
+- Actions violating their tier assignment will be caught in manual review
+
+### Local Validation
+```bash
+# Lint workflows locally for pinning compliance
+pwsh -NoProfile -File ./scripts/test-github-actions-local.ps1 -Mode lint
+```
+
+### Quarterly Audit
+- Repository maintainers review action pinning against this policy
+- Any tier misclassification is logged + corrected in next batch PR
+- Security-critical actions (Tier 1) are audited before each major release
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: Why not pin everything to SHA?**  
+A: Cross-compilation complexity (Docker/Linux/macOS/Windows) + maintenance burden (256+ SHAs to track). Tier 1 security-critical actions remain SHA-pinned.
+
+**Q: What if an action fails with a newer version?**  
+A: Report issue; revert to previous major version if needed; escalate to action owner if it's a regression.
+
+**Q: Can I pin a Tier 3 action to SHA?**  
+A: Yes; it's encouraged where possible, but not required. Semantic version tags are sufficient.
+
+**Q: What about internal (`./.github/actions/`) actions?**  
+A: Always use SHA pins (Tier 1). They're part of the codebase and subject to git history tracking.

 ## Security Guidelines
 - Keine Secrets im YAML oder in Shell-Skripten hardcoden.
 - Publish-Workflows nur ueber Tag- oder Environment-Gates freigeben.
-- Third-party Actions auf immutable Commit-SHAs pinnen (SHA-only, kein `@vX.Y.Z` Tag als einzige Referenz).
-  Beispiel: `uses: actions/checkout@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683  # v4.2.2`
-  Enforcement: `gate-pr-core.yml` Preflight-Checks + lokales `actionlint` via `scripts/test-github-actions-local.ps1`.
+
+### Action Pinning Policy (Tiered Strategy)
+Third-party Actions sind nach Sicherheits- und Kompatibilitaetsanforderungen in 4 Kategorien eingeteilt. 
+Siehe `.github/ACTION_PIN_POLICY.md` fuer vollstaendige Dokumentation und Allowlist.
+
+**Tier 1 (MUST PIN - Sicherheit kritisch):** 
+- Vollständige SHA-Pins erforderlich
+- Bsp: codeql-action, fortify-action, action-gh-release (signings/credentials)
+- Enforcement: `gate-pr-core.yml` Preflight-Checks
+
+**Tier 2 (SHOULD PIN - Zuverlaessigkeit kritisch):** 
+- Semantische Version Tags (z.B. `@v4`) oder gebrochene SHA-Pins erlaubt
+- Bsp: checkout, upload-artifact, download-artifact, setup-python
+- Rationale: Aktualisierungen innerhalb Major-Version sind typischerweise compatible
+
+**Tier 3-4 (OPTIONAL/DYNAMIC - Cross-Compilation-freundlich):**
+- Semantic Version Tags oder `latest` erlaubt
+- Bsp: trivy-action, syft, actionlint, Linter-Tools
+- Rationale: Plattformuebergreifende Kompatibilitaet (Docker/Linux/macOS/MS) bevorzugt
+
 - Compliance-Gates fuer Dependencies muessen branch- und pfadbegrenzt sein und ein downloadbares Audit-Artefakt erzeugen.
 - OIDC-basierte Authentifizierung (kein long-lived PAT) fuer ghcr.io und neue Registry-Ziele.
