# Installed from the release tarball rather than the marketplace action,
# which requires a paid licence key for organization-owned repositories.
#
# Pinned deliberately, for the same reason the retina repos pin ruff: this
# is a required check, so resolving `releases/latest` at run time let a new
# gitleaks release change what the gate accepts with no commit here and no
# way to tell a real new finding from a rules change. Bump VERSION and
# SHA256 together; each release ships gitleaks_<VERSION>_checksums.txt.
#
# The tarball is written to disk and verified before extraction rather than
# piped straight into tar, so nothing unverified is ever unpacked. `-f`
# makes curl fail on an HTTP error page instead of handing tar an HTML
# document, and --retry covers the transient TLS failure seen on ops#2.
