Action versions

Templates use the current major versions of common actions (checkout@v4, language setup actions @v4/ @v5, docker/build-push-action@v6). Always pin to a SHA in production for supply-chain safety.

Concurrency

The Pages workflow uses a concurrency group so a second push cancels the previous build mid-flight instead of queueing.
