Hardens the existing GitHub Actions workflows with immutable dependency pins, disabled checkout credential persistence, least-privilege permissions, concurrency limits, named jobs, safe matrix handling, and a pinned PostgreSQL service image.

The test workflow pins the Postgres image, names the job, and passes the matrix Python version through environment variables.
Zizmor scanning and CI guidance

Poem

A rabbit pins actions in rows neat and bright,

Keeps workflow permissions precise and light.
Zizmor checks every action and flow,
While CI instructions clearly show.
The tests run on services fixed in place.

Keep local and hosted Zizmor versions aligned.

The Poe task and documentation use an unpinned zizmor, while the hosted workflow pins version 1.29.0. Pin one shared version across all three paths.
