free-tests runs PR code (install lifecycle scripts + the suite) with
whatever the repo-default GITHUB_TOKEN grant is, persisted into
.git/config by checkout. Now: permissions contents:read,
persist-credentials false, pinned by the wiring test. actionlint gets
the same treatment plus a digest pin on the third-party Docker Hub
image (a tag is repointable with no GitHub-side audit trail, and the
image sees the mounted checkout). restore-keys added to both caches so
a lockfile bump warms from the previous cache; stale --parallel header
wording corrected.
New required, secretless free-tests job: the canonical runner's single
'bun test --parallel' invocation with strict-output classification on
ubicloud-standard-8. The free suite previously ran on NO Linux CI — only
a curated Windows subset ran anywhere — so every 'tests pass' claim
about main rested on contributors running them locally.
Secretless by design (no API keys; fork PRs finally get real test
signal) and pinned by test/free-tests-workflow-wiring.test.ts: canonical
runner invoked, zero secrets.* references, pull_request never
pull_request_target, and matrix-count/--shards agreement if anyone
switches to the sharded fallback.
