Version Change: actions/checkout@v6.0.1actions/checkout@v6.0.2 (patch update)

Key Changes in v6.0.2:

  1. Tag Handling Fix (PR #2356 by @ericsciple):

    • Fixed fetch-tags: true functionality that wasn't working properly
    • Preserved tag annotations during checkout (tags are now fetched via refspec instead of commit hash)
    • Resolved fatal errors when using tag checkout combined with fetch-tags: true
    • Technical implementation: Modified getRefSpec() to accept fetchTags parameter and use explicit refspecs (+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*) instead of --tags flag
  2. Enhanced User Agent Tracking (PR #2355):

    • Added orchestration_id to git user-agent when ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable is set
    • Improves telemetry and debugging capabilities

Breaking Changes: None

Security Fixes: None identified - this is a bug fix release

🎯 Impact Scope Investigation

Usage Analysis:

  • The repository uses actions/checkout in 6 locations across 5 workflow files:
    • .github/workflows/api-push.yaml (1 usage)
    • .github/workflows/package-pr.yaml (3 usages)
    • .github/workflows/package-push.yaml (1 usage)
    • .github/workflows/repo-push.yaml (1 usage)
    • .github/workflows/claude-renovate-review.yml (1 usage)

Current Configuration:

  • All usages employ default configuration (no additional parameters)
  • Only one workflow (claude-renovate-review.yml) uses custom configuration: persist-credentials: false
  • No workflows use fetch-tags parameter - the fixed feature is not currently utilized
  • No workflows checkout tags specifically - all checkout HEAD of branches (master/v3) or PR refs

Dependency Impact:

  • This is an isolated GitHub Actions dependency
  • No downstream dependencies affected
  • No changes to package.json, lock files, or runtime dependencies

Backward Compatibility:

  • ✅ Fully backward compatible - this is a bug fix that doesn't alter existing behavior for current usage patterns
  • The fix addresses edge cases (tag handling) that are not utilized in this repository
  • No API changes or parameter modifications

💡 Recommended Actions

Immediate Action:

  • Safe to merge immediately - no code changes required

Post-Merge Validation:

  • Monitor the next workflow runs to ensure all 6 usages continue functioning normally
  • Expected workflows to verify:
    • API/repo image publishing workflows
    • Package build and test workflows
    • Renovate review workflow

Optional Future Enhancements:

  • No action required, but if the project ever needs to checkout specific tags or fetch all tags, this update ensures those features will work correctly

No Manual Migration Required:

  • Zero code changes needed
  • Zero configuration changes needed
  • All current usages are unaffected by the bug fixes
