Checkout v6.0.1 was released yesterday (Dec 2, 2025) and is causing CI
failures across all workflows. The v6 release requires minimum GitHub
Actions Runner v2.329.0 for Docker container scenarios and likely has
edge cases causing failures.
Downgrading to v4.2.2 (stable release from Oct 2024) to restore CI
stability. Can re-evaluate v6 after it matures.
Affects 16 checkout action references across 12 workflow files:
- quality-checks.yml
- waf-integration.yml
- docker-publish.yml
- codecov-upload.yml
- codeql.yml
- benchmark.yml
- docs.yml
- release-goreleaser.yml
- auto-versioning.yml
- docker-lint.yml
- auto-changelog.yml
- renovate.yml
- Add @tanstack/react-query, axios, and clsx to frontend dependencies
- Remove trailing whitespace from multiple files to pass pre-commit hooks
- These were required but missing from package.json
Major Updates:
- Rewrote all docs in beginner-friendly 'ELI5' language
- Created docs index with user journey navigation
- Added complete getting-started guide for novice users
- Set up GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) automation
- Configured GitHub Pages deployment for documentation
Documentation:
- docs/index.md - Central navigation hub
- docs/getting-started.md - Step-by-step beginner guide
- docs/github-setup.md - CI/CD setup instructions
- README.md - Complete rewrite in accessible language
- CONTRIBUTING.md - Contributor guidelines

CI/CD Workflows:
- .github/workflows/docker-build.yml - Multi-platform builds to GHCR
- .github/workflows/docs.yml - Automated docs deployment to Pages
- Supports main (latest), development (dev), and version tags
- Automated testing of built images

Benefits:
