The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine update to the GitHub Actions checkout tool used by the project's automated workflows. It changes the pinned version from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 across many workflow files. The newer version fixes minor bugs related to SHA-256 repositories and merge-commit handling, but the project does not treat this as a security fix. It is a standard maintenance change with very low direct security risk.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. The update is a routine patch and can be accepted as part of normal maintenance. Continue to monitor upstream actions/checkout release notes for future security-related fixes.

Security signals we found

01

02

Upstream fixes for SHA-256 repository checkout and merge commit regex

03

All affected workflows already disable persisted credentials

Merge rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin#6440: base58: Introduce `decode_check_to_array` for alloc-less decoding

This commit is a routine feature addition to the rust-bitcoin base58 crate. It adds a new no-allocator function to decode short base58-check strings into fixed-size byte arrays, and renames the existing error type while keeping a deprecate…

No security-relevant bug fix is described in the commit message or diff.New decoding path uses a fixed 128-byte scratch buffer (`ArrayVec`) and rejects oversized inputs.Checksum verification and invalid-character handling are preserved from the existing alloc implementation.
