# `publish-aur.yml` - Arch Linux AUR Package Workflow
# --------------------
# This workflow automates the validation and publishing of the 'numa-git' package to the
# Arch User Repository (AUR). The AUR is a community-driven repository for Arch Linux users.
#
# Workflow Overview:
# 1. Validate: Builds and tests the package on both x86_64 and aarch64 (ARM64)
# architectures using clean Arch Linux containers.
# 2. Audit: Checks Rust dependencies for known security vulnerabilities using 'cargo-audit'.
# 3. Publish: If on the 'main' branch, it pushes the updated PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO to the AUR.
#
# Security Best Practices:
# - SHA Pinning: All GitHub Actions are pinned to a full-length commit SHA (e.g., v4.1.7 @ SHA)
# to ensure the code is immutable and protects against supply-chain attacks where a tag
# might be maliciously moved to a compromised commit.
# - SSH Hygiene: Uses ssh-agent to keep the private key in memory rather than on disk.
# - Audit: Runs 'cargo audit' to prevent publishing known vulnerable dependencies.
