Hongming Wang c77a88c247 chore(security): pin Actions to SHAs + enable Dependabot auto-bumps
Supply-chain hardening for the CI pipeline. 23 workflow files
modified, 59 mutable-tag refs replaced with commit SHAs.

The risk

Every `uses:` reference in .github/workflows/*.yml was pinned to a
mutable tag (e.g., `actions/checkout@v4`). A maintainer of an
action — or a compromised maintainer account — can repoint that
tag to malicious code, and our pipelines silently pull it on the
next run. The tj-actions/changed-files compromise of March 2025 is
the canonical example: maintainer credential leak, attacker
repointed several `@v<N>` tags to a payload that exfiltrated
repository secrets. Repos that pinned to SHAs were unaffected.

The fix

Replace each `@v<N>` with `@<commit-sha> # v<N>`. The trailing
comment preserves human readability ("ah, this is v4"); the SHA
makes the reference immutable.

Actions covered (10 distinct):
  actions/{checkout,setup-go,setup-python,setup-node,upload-artifact,github-script}
  docker/{login-action,setup-buildx-action,build-push-action}
  github/codeql-action/{init,autobuild,analyze}
  dorny/paths-filter
  imjasonh/setup-crane
  pnpm/action-setup (already pinned in molecule-app, listed here for completeness)

Excluded:
  Molecule-AI/molecule-ci/.github/workflows/disable-auto-merge-on-push.yml@main
    — internal org reusable workflow; we control its repo, threat model
    is different from third-party actions. Conventional to pin to @main
    rather than SHA for internal reusables.

The maintenance cost

SHA pinning means upstream fixes require manual SHA bumps. Without
automation, pinned SHAs go stale. So this PR also enables Dependabot
across four ecosystems:

  - github-actions (workflows)
  - gomod (workspace-server)
  - npm (canvas)
  - pip (workspace runtime requirements)

Weekly cadence — the supply-chain attack window is "minutes between
repoint and pull"; weekly auto-bumps don't help with zero-days
regardless. The point is to pull in non-zero-day fixes without
operator effort.

Aligns with user-stated principle: "long-term, robust, fully-
automated, eliminate human error."

Companion PR: Molecule-AI/molecule-controlplane#308 (same pattern,
smaller surface).
