Harden greetings workflow secret handling

[Copilot]

Adding or modifying a card/dashboard? Read the Card Development Guide first — it covers required patterns, common pitfalls, and the full file checklist.

New CNCF project card? New cards go in kubestellar/console-marketplace, not this repo. PRs adding new cards here will be redirected.

Use a coding agent. This repo is primarily developed with Claude Code (Opus 4.5/4.6). It knows all codebase patterns (isDemoData, useCardLoadingState, locale strings, DCO). Manual PRs that miss required patterns will be sent back.

📝 Summary of Changes

greetings.yml forwarded all repository secrets into a reusable workflow reachable from pull_request_target. This update removes secret inheritance and aligns the workflow with the existing same-repo guard + pinned-SHA pattern.

• Workflow hardening
  • Remove secrets: inherit from the greet job
  • Keep execution restricted to same-repo PRs when triggered by pull_request_target
  • Replace the mutable reusable-workflow reference with a pinned commit SHA comment

jobs:
  greet:
    if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request_target' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository }}
    uses: kubestellar/infra/.github/workflows/reusable-greetings.yml@a160acca0bdce1ac6c649e006d680d5f6d53024e # pinned commit SHA

Checklist

Please ensure the following before submitting your PR:

• I used a coding agent (Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, or Codex) to generate/review this code
• I have reviewed the project's contribution guidelines
• New cards target console-marketplace, not this repo
• isDemoData is wired correctly (cards show Demo badge when using demo data)
• I have written unit tests for the changes (if applicable)
• I have tested the changes locally and ensured they work as expected
• All commits are signed with DCO (git commit -s)

Screenshots or Logs (if applicable)

N/A — workflow-only change.

👀 Reviewer Notes

• No behavior change for issue events.
• For PR events, the reusable greetings workflow still receives github.token automatically; custom repository secrets are no longer forwarded.

Original prompt

Security vulnerability in .github/workflows/greetings.yml: The workflow uses pull_request_target trigger combined with secrets: inherit, which allows PRs from forks to access repository secrets.

Fix required:

1. Remove secrets: inherit from the greetings job
2. Update comment from # main to # pinned commit SHA to document the pinned reference

The workflow already has a guard condition: if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request_target' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository }}

This prevents execution for fork PRs, but secrets: inherit still exposes secrets at workflow parse time, not at job runtime. Removing it eliminates the security risk entirely.
