Release announcement: [Partner Certification Checker](https://github.com/ansible-collections/partner-certification-checker) GitHub workflow v4.0.0 has been released. 🎉

**Breaking / Removed Features:**

- Removed the self-maintained certification workflow variant. Partners should now use the maintained reusable workflow to avoid configuration drift.

**Bug Fixes:**

- Added missing `distlib` dependency for `build-import` and `lint` jobs in `certification-reusable.yml`. @carl.buchmann
- Updated `certification-reusable.yml` to install `ansible-core` and `ansible-lint` together, preventing version mismatch import errors. @mikemorency

**Maintenance & Security:**

- Updated `ansible-community/ansible-test-gh-action` pin to commit SHA to improve supply chain security. 🔒 @dbrennand

See the full [changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/partner-certification-checker/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst#v400).

If you run the `certification.yml` workflow in your repository, please update the following line to call v4.0.0:

```auto
uses: ansible-collections/partner-certification-checker/.github/workflows/certification-reusable.yml@v4.0.0

```

If you don’t run the workflow, please consider using it to ensure you’ll catch and fix errors before submitting your collection to Automation Hub. Please read the [installation guide](https://github.com/ansible-collections/partner-certification-checker/blob/main/README.md#quick-start) for details.
