## Summary
- Fixed all `update-*.yml` workflows that were creating duplicate PRs
every week
## Problem
The update workflows (libarchive, zstd, cares, etc.) were using `${{
github.run_number }}` in the branch name, e.g.:
```yaml
branch: deps/update-libarchive-${{ github.run_number }}
```
This caused a new unique branch to be created on every workflow run, so
the `peter-evans/create-pull-request` action couldn't detect existing
PRs and would create duplicates.
**Evidence:** There are currently 8+ open duplicate PRs for libarchive
alone:
- #26432 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-56)
- #26209 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-55)
- #25955 deps: update libarchive to v3.8.5 (deps/update-libarchive-54)
- etc.
## Solution
Changed all workflows to use static branch names, e.g.:
```yaml
branch: deps/update-libarchive
```
This allows the action to:
1. Detect if an existing branch/PR already exists
2. Update the existing PR with new changes instead of creating a new one
3. Properly use `delete-branch: true` when the PR is merged
## Files Changed
- `.github/workflows/update-cares.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-hdrhistogram.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-highway.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-libarchive.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-libdeflate.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-lolhtml.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-lshpack.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-root-certs.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-sqlite3.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-vendor.yml`
- `.github/workflows/update-zstd.yml`
## Test plan
- [x] Verified the change is syntactically correct
- [ ] Wait for next scheduled run of any workflow to verify it updates
existing PR instead of creating a new one

## Summary
- Fixes the failing update-lolhtml GitHub Action that was unable to
handle lightweight Git tags
- The action was failing with "Could not fetch SHA for tag v2.6.0"
because it assumed all tags are annotated tag objects
- Updated the workflow to properly handle both lightweight tags (direct
commit refs) and annotated tags (tag objects)
## Root Cause
The lolhtml repository uses lightweight tags (like v2.6.0) which point
directly to commits, not to tag objects. The original workflow tried to
fetch a tag object for every tag, causing failures when the tag was
lightweight.
## Solution
The fix adds logic to:
1. Check the tag object type from the Git refs API response
2. For annotated tags: fetch the commit SHA from the tag object
(original behavior)
3. For lightweight tags: use the SHA directly from the ref (new
behavior)
## Test Plan
- [x] Verified the workflow logic handles both tag types correctly
- [ ] The next scheduled run should succeed (runs weekly on Sundays at 1
AM UTC)
- [ ] Manual workflow dispatch can be used to test immediately
