tags can be moved; commit SHAs can't. why a SHA?

Inputs

name	description	required	default
version	alint version to install: a release tag like `v0.1.0`, or `latest`. Leave unset to install the release matching the tag the action itself is pinned to — e.g. `uses: asamarts/alint@v0.12.0` installs v0.12.0, so pinning the action pins the binary. Falls back to `latest` when the action is pinned to a branch or SHA.	no	""
path	Directory to lint. Defaults to the repository root.	no	.
config	A single extra config file path. Leave empty to let alint auto-discover `.alint.yml` at the lint root. `--config` is single-valued — to compose several configs, use `extends:` inside your config rather than listing multiple paths here (passing more than one is a hard error, matching the CLI).	no	""
format	Output format: `human`, `json`, `sarif`, `github` (inline PR annotations), `github-actions` (alias for `github`), `markdown`, `junit`, `gitlab`, `agent`. Defaults to `github`.	no	github
fail-on-warning	Treat warnings as errors for exit-code purposes.	no	false
args	Extra CLI arguments appended verbatim after the subcommand.	no	""
working-directory	Working directory for the run. Defaults to the runner's workspace.	no	${{ github.workspace }}

Outputs

name	description
sarif-file	Absolute path to the SARIF file (only populated when `format: sarif`).
