Remove the no-op branch and rename the ambiguous variable l.

The if body at lines 297-298 is only pass, so the branch has no effect. The any(...) check at line 297 has no effect either, because the branch never runs its body.

Ruff's default rule set includes E741 (ambiguous variable name). The repository has no Ruff configuration, so the default rules apply to ruff check . in the lint task. That check reports l at lines 297, 300 and 308. Because the task chains commands with ||, a Ruff failure does not fail mise run lint when prettier --check . or black --check . succeeds. The lint task can therefore pass while this violation remains.

block_fields(lines) on line 296 only supplies commit. Compute it at the point of use.

In the deps_by_commit loop, remove the no-op if/pass branch and compute
block_fields(lines) when retrieving commit. Rename ambiguous l iterator
variables to line in the uses checks, including the later check that triggers
Ruff’s E741 rule.

Validate every nested uses: pin before emitting the lockfile.

build_lock creates dependency blocks only from workflow and local-action references. It preserves a composite action's existing uses: list, but it does not create blocks for nested references in that list. Therefore, --check can accept an unchanged lockfile that is missing a nested pin. The validator has the same gap.

GitHub can then reject the affected job during Set up job with lockfile missing pin for <the nested action>.

Review comment at @scripts/ci/pin-workflow-uses.py around lines 285 - 316:
Update the lockfile generation flow in build_lock to validate every nested
reference in preserved `uses:` lists before emitting the lockfile. Normalise
each nested reference to its lockfile key, collect keys absent from merged, and
fail with a clear error listing the missing pins; leave existing
dependency-block generation and emission unchanged.
