Why This Matters

When AI coding agents search for functions to complete a task, they rely on function
names to understand what code does. Clear, descriptive names increase the likelihood
that an agent will find the right function instead of reimplementing existing logic.
Functions in the same package also call each other, so reviewing them together gives
better context for rename decisions.

Rename Suggestions

pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

Current Name	Suggested Name	Reason
getActionPin()	getLatestActionPinReference()	Returns a formatted string ("repo@sha # version"), not an ActionPin struct — but the name mirrors GetActionPinByRepo, which does return a struct, misleading both humans and agents

All functions in this file (for reference):

• GetActionPins() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• getActionPins() — ✅ Clear, no change needed (private lazy-init helper)
• GetActionPinsByRepo() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• GetActionPinByRepo() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• getActionPin() — ⚠️ Rename suggested (see table above)
• FormatReference() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• FormatCacheKey() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• ExtractRepo() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• ExtractVersion() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• isValidFullSHA() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• findCompatiblePin() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• ResolveActionPin() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• ResolveLatestActionPin() — ✅ Clear, no change needed

🤖 Agentic Implementation Plan

Agentic Implementation Plan

This issue is designed to be assigned to a coding agent. The agent should implement
all rename suggestions below in a single pull request.

Prerequisites

• Read the function body at pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go:157 to confirm the return type is string (not ActionPin)
• Check that no Go interface constraint requires this function to be named getActionPin

Implementation Steps

1. Rename the function in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

// Old (line 157)
func getActionPin(repo string) string {

// New
func getLatestActionPinReference(repo string) string {

2. Update all call sites within pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

The function is private (unexported) so all call sites are in the same file:

grep -n "getActionPin" pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

Expected call sites (all inside ResolveLatestActionPin, lines ~320–331):

• return getActionPin(repo) — appears 3 times

Update each one to return getLatestActionPinReference(repo).

Also update the comment on line 155:

// Old
// getActionPin returns the pinned reference for the latest version of the repo.

// New
// getLatestActionPinReference returns the formatted pinned reference string for the latest version of the repo.

3. Verify compilation

make build

4. Run tests after the rename is complete

make test-unit
make lint

Commit Convention

refactor: rename getActionPin to getLatestActionPinReference for clarity

Validation Checklist

• Rename implemented in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go
• All 3 call sites in ResolveLatestActionPin updated
• Comment on line 155 updated
• make build passes with no errors
• make test-unit passes
• make lint passes
• PR description explains the agent-discoverability rationale

Notes for the Agent

• This is a pure rename refactor — behavior must not change, only the name
• The pkg/workflow package has its own separate getActionPin function in pkg/workflow/action_pins.go; do not rename that one — it is a different function outside the scope of this issue
• Follow existing naming conventions documented in AGENTS.md
