Razvan Dimescu d090e049ec ci(aur): attach to master after clone to avoid detached HEAD
aur.archlinux.org stopped advertising the HEAD symref around 2026-04-22
(`git ls-remote --symref` returns HEAD as a raw SHA, no 'ref:' line).
Fresh clones therefore land in detached HEAD, commits do not land on
any branch, and 'git push origin master' fails with:

  error: src refspec master does not match any

Every AUR publish run since has failed for this reason. Checking out
master explicitly after clone attaches the working copy to the branch
the push targets. refs/heads/master is still present on the remote, so
no other changes are needed.

# `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 for Arch Linux x86_64 using a clean
# Arch Linux container.
# 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., v6.0.2 @ 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.
