- update WellKnownRegularExpressions to match both 40-char (SHA-1) and 64-char (SHA-256) hex strings - add CommitHash constant as canonical name while keeping SHA1 for backward compatibility - remove dead _validSha1 field in RepositoryPlugin v1.0 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Add dedicated test class covering: - 40-char SHA-1 match (regression guard) - 64-char SHA-256 match (new behavior) - 63/65-char boundary rejection - Mixed-case matching (IgnoreCase) - SHA1 and CommitHash keys return same regex instance - Unknown key returns null Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Allow CommitHash to be either 40 chars (SHA-1) or 64 chars (SHA-256). Add hex format validation. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview
Updates the runner’s well-known commit-hash regular expression to recognize both SHA-1 (40 hex) and SHA-256 (64 hex) commit IDs, and updates checkout plugins to use a new canonical CommitHash key while preserving the existing SHA1 key for compatibility.
Changes:
- Add
CommitHashwell-known regex key and map bothSHA1andCommitHashto the updated commit-hash regex. - Expand commit-hash regex from 40-hex to 40-or-64-hex.
- Update repository checkout plugins (v1.0/v1.1) to use
CommitHash, and add L0 tests for the new behavior.

Summary
Expand runner commit-hash handling to support both SHA-1 (40-char) and SHA-256 (64-char) commit hashes, preparing the runner for Git's SHA-256 transition.
Changes
WellKnownRegularExpressions.cs: Update the commit-hash regex from\b[0-9a-f]{40}\bto\b(?:[0-9a-f]{40}|[0-9a-f]{64})\b; addCommitHashas the canonical key while keepingSHA1as a backward-compatible alias.RepositoryPlugin.cs(v1.0/v1.1): Update repository plugin callers to useWellKnownRegularExpressions.CommitHashinstead of the legacySHA1key; remove the unused v1.0_validSha1field.WellKnownRegularExpressionsL0.cs: Add coverage for 40-char SHA-1, 64-char SHA-256, 63/65-char boundaries, mixed-case matching, alias compatibility, and unknown keys.ConstantGenerationL0.cs: Fold in the former test: update CommitHash length assertion for SHA-256 support #4348 assertion update so generatedCommitHashmay be either 40-char SHA-1 or 64-char SHA-256 and is hex-only.ActionManagerL0.cs: Add validation for 64-character resolved SHAs in action archive cache and symlink cache paths.Validation
