Small third-party actions create recurring dependency updates across
role repositories. Replace them with composite actions in
linux-system-roles/.github. Implement commit status, release, pull
request, and other workflow operations with git, gh, Bash, and Python.
Use pinned official GitHub actions for checkout and artifact transfer,
and retain the upstream actions needed for CodeQL, Codecov, codespell,
setup-python, and Testing Farm.

Update the role workflow templates to use the shared actions. Document
the publishing order so the actions are available before the templates
are rolled out to role repositories.

Generate an actions.lock file for each managed role repository. Limit
organization workflows to GitHub-owned and selected external actions,
and require SHA pinning. Locked commits satisfy the pinning rule for
workflows covered by an actions.lock file.
