GitHub Actions action versions suggested by LLMs are often multiple major versions behind current releases

Commonly used GitHub Actions advance major versions faster than LLM training data. Acting on LLM-suggested versions without verification may reference an outdated major that misses features, performance improvements, or security fixes.

Always verify current major versions of GitHub Actions before writing workflows. Use gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest --jq '.tag_name' to check the latest release for each action.
