[function-namer] Go function rename plan: pkg/actionpins

[github-actions]

Package Analyzed: pkg/actionpins
Analysis Date: 2026-04-24
Round-Robin Position: package 1 of 22 total packages
Functions Analyzed: 17 functions across 1 file

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
FormatReference()	FormatPinnedActionReference()	"Reference" is generic; the suffix clarifies this formats a pinned action ref string (repo@sha # version), not just any reference type
notifyResolutionFailure()	recordPinResolutionFailure()	"notify" implies user-facing output (like a warning print), but this function silently records to an audit callback (ctx.RecordResolutionFailure); "record" is accurate

All functions in this file (for reference):

• getActionPins() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• countPinKeyMismatches() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• buildByRepoIndex() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• GetActionPinsByRepo() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• GetActionPinByRepo() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• GetContainerPin() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• getLatestActionPinReference() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• FormatReference() — ⚠️ Rename suggested (see table above)
• 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
• initWarnings() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• notifyResolutionFailure() — ⚠️ Rename suggested (see table above)
• 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 each rename suggestion and verify it is accurate by reviewing the function body
• Check for any Go interface constraints that prevent renaming (neither function implements an interface, so this should be clear)

Implementation Steps

Rename 1: FormatReference → FormatPinnedActionReference

File: pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go (line 218)

// Old
func FormatReference(repo, sha, version string) string {

// New
func FormatPinnedActionReference(repo, sha, version string) string {

Update all call sites — 7 internal call sites + 2 external:

grep -rn "FormatReference" pkg/ --include="*.go"

Known call sites:

• pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go: lines 213, 298, 322, 330, 334, 358, 364
• pkg/workflow/action_pins.go: lines 31, 57
• pkg/actionpins/spec_test.go: lines 42, 183, 210

Rename 2: notifyResolutionFailure → recordPinResolutionFailure

File: pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go (line 271)

// Old
func notifyResolutionFailure(ctx *PinContext, actionRepo, version string, errorType ResolutionErrorType) {

// New
func recordPinResolutionFailure(ctx *PinContext, actionRepo, version string, errorType ResolutionErrorType) {

Update all call sites:

grep -rn "notifyResolutionFailure" pkg/ --include="*.go"

Known call site:

• pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go: line 373

Verify Compilation After Each Rename

make build

Run Tests After All Renames Are Complete

make test-unit
make lint

Commit Convention

refactor: rename FormatReference to FormatPinnedActionReference for clarity
refactor: rename notifyResolutionFailure to recordPinResolutionFailure for clarity

Validation Checklist

• All renames implemented
• All call sites updated (Go files and test files)
• 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 names
• FormatReference is exported, so both pkg/actionpins and pkg/workflow callers must be updated
• notifyResolutionFailure is unexported, only one call site in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go
• Follow existing naming conventions documented in AGENTS.md
