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
GetActionPinByRepo()	GetLatestActionPinByRepo()	Distinguishes it from GetActionPinsByRepo() (plural). The singular form alone doesn't signal "returns only the latest/highest version". An agent searching for "get the latest pin for a repo" would more reliably find GetLatestActionPinByRepo.
getActionPin()	getLatestActionPinReference()	The current name is confusingly similar to GetActionPinByRepo but returns a string (formatted reference), not an ActionPin struct. The word "Reference" clarifies the return type and "Latest" signals it picks the highest-version pin. The pkg/workflow package has its own getActionPin wrapper, so agents grepping across packages encounter two identically named functions with subtly different behavior.

All functions in this file (for reference):

• GetActionPins() — ✅ Clear, no change needed
• getActionPins() — ✅ Standard unexported counterpart, no change needed
• GetActionPinsByRepo() — ✅ Clear, returns all pins for a repo
• GetActionPinByRepo() — ⚠️ Rename suggested (see table above)
• 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
• GetCachedActionPin() — ✅ 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 (e.g., must match interface method name)

Implementation Steps

1. Rename GetActionPinByRepo → GetLatestActionPinByRepo in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

// Old
func GetActionPinByRepo(repo string) (ActionPin, bool) {

// New
func GetLatestActionPinByRepo(repo string) (ActionPin, bool) {

2. Update all call sites for GetActionPinByRepo

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

The known caller is pkg/workflow/action_pins.go:83 — update getActionPinByRepo there to call actionpins.GetLatestActionPinByRepo(repo).

Also check test files:

grep -rn "GetActionPinByRepo" pkg/ --include="*_test.go"

3. Rename getActionPin → getLatestActionPinReference in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

// Old
func getActionPin(repo string) string {

// New
func getLatestActionPinReference(repo string) string {

4. Update all call sites for getActionPin within pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go

The callers are all in GetCachedActionPin (lines 323, 328, 334). Update each to call getLatestActionPinReference(repo).

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

5. Verify compilation after each rename

make build

6. Run tests after all renames are complete

make test-unit
make lint

Commit Convention

Each rename should be a focused commit:

refactor: rename GetActionPinByRepo to GetLatestActionPinByRepo for clarity
refactor: rename getActionPin to getLatestActionPinReference 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
• getActionPin in pkg/actionpins/actionpins.go is separate from the identically named getActionPin in pkg/workflow/action_pins.go; only the pkg/actionpins one is renamed by this issue
• If a rename causes unexpected complexity (e.g., name conflicts, interface constraints), skip it and leave a comment in the PR explaining why
• Follow existing naming conventions documented in AGENTS.md
