v9.0.0

9.0.0 (2026-07-03)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• remove the sync-github-labels composite action (superseded by declarative IssueLabels) (#418)
• All callers referencing old file names, input names, output names, or secret keys must be updated.
• run-dotnet-tests: run-dotnet-tests no longer accepts app-id or app-private-key inputs. Callers pinning by SHA are unaffected; on repin any still-passed values are simply ignored (unexpected-input warning).
• the setup-copilot-skills/update-copilot-skills action paths are removed and setup-agent-skills's agent input is renamed to agents. Consumers on a pinned major (e.g. @v4) are unaffected until they bump; migration guides are in each action's README.
• the codecov-token input is removed from both actions. Callers must stop passing it (the reusable workflows are updated in lockstep).
• copilot-skills: setup-copilot-skills and update-copilot-skills both remove the skills-lock input; setup-copilot-skills also removes the source input and redefines skills as the sole list input. Delete any skills-lock.json and move each entry onto its own <owner/repo> <skill> line in setup-copilot-skills.with.skills.
• Action directories and input names have been renamed.
