Backport workflow-hardening fix (unpinned-uses) to 4 release branches

[CharlieMCY]

Summary

The default branch already hardened .github/workflows/nightly.yml against the issue(s) below, but 4 release branches still carry it. This proposes the same, minimal, scanner-verified fix for each.

What's flagged (by zizmor)

• unpinned-uses — actions referenced by mutable tag/branch instead of a pinned commit SHA

Already resolved on the default branch in:

• 4920ab7

Affected release branches (4)

• release-tag (still present as of HEAD bc532406)
• release/5.x (still present as of HEAD 3e7b97fb)
• release/4.x (still present as of HEAD aee9bc78)
• release/3.x (still present as of HEAD fb210d5c)

Suggested per-branch patches

Each diff below was checked locally with zizmor and actionlint: the flagged finding(s) are cleared on the affected construct and no new lint or security findings are introduced. (Whitespace is normalized; only security-relevant lines change.)

Happy to open pull requests instead if that's preferred.
