chore: bump GitHub Actions to v5 majors (Node 24 runtime) ⬆️#1409
Merged
Conversation
GitHub deprecated Node 20 as the JS-action runtime in Sept 2025; forced switch to Node 24 lands 2026-06-02. Bumps all four core actions to their v5 majors, which run on Node 24: actions/checkout v4 -> v5 actions/setup-node v4 -> v5 actions/upload-artifact v4 -> v5 actions/download-artifact v4 -> v5 Chose v5 across the board rather than latest-of-each (checkout v6, upload v7, download v8) because v5 is the smallest jump that addresses the warning and keeps upload/download majors paired - mismatched artifact action majors are a known footgun. Also updates the workflows README so its example snippets and the "Standardization" section stop claiming everything is on v4. Supersedes dependabot PRs #1391 (checkout v4->v6) and #1393 (download-artifact v4->v8); both will be closed.

Summary
Resolves the GitHub Actions Node 20 deprecation warning seen in recent deploys.
Bumps
actions/checkoutactions/setup-nodeactions/upload-artifactactions/download-artifactWhy v5 (not latest)
Dependabot was suggesting
checkout@v6,upload@v7,download@v8(the actual latest majors of each). Going to v5 across the board instead because:upload-artifactanddownload-artifactmajor-paired. Mismatched majors between these two are a known footgun — the artifact protocol shifted between v4 and v5.We can chase v6/v7/v8 later when there's a reason to, on a dedicated branch with a release-notes read.
Supersedes
Both will be closed once this lands.
