Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for gravitational/teleport focused on stabilizing CI/CD by pinning shared workflow SHAs, improving reproducibility and governance of shared workflows. Implemented in gravitational/teleport with a concrete SHA pin for shared workflows (commit 49642468874e25872e48b3c7430131f5c5b4873e) to prevent unexpected changes from upstream workflow repositories. This reduces CI drift, increases build reliability, and provides deterministic pipelines for faster, more reliable deployments. No major bugs fixed were reported this month based on available data; the primary value delivered is greater CI stability, traceability, and governance around shared workflows.
