ci: Move remaining Node 20 actions to their Node 24 releases - #2813
Merged
Conversation
GitHub is retiring the Node 20 action runtime, and several actions we pin still shipped `runs.using: node20`. - `actions/upload-artifact` v5 -> v6 - `actions/download-artifact` v6 -> v7 - `actions/cache` and `actions/cache/restore` v4 -> v5 - `actions/checkout` v3 -> v6 in `update-citation-cff`, matching every other workflow - `nick-fields/retry` v3.0.2 -> v4.0.0 These are the first Node 24 majors of each action; the inputs we pass are unchanged in all of them. `thollander/actions-comment-pull-request` still has no Node 24 release, so `commit-suggest` keeps its current pin.

GitHub is retiring the Node 20 action runtime,
so every action we pin needs a release that declares
runs.using: node24.Version numbers are a poor proxy for that,
so the runtime of each pinned action was read from its upstream
action.yml.That turned up the main surprise:
actions/upload-artifact@v5andactions/download-artifact@v6,which this repository had already adopted,
are still Node 20 actions.
Their first Node 24 majors are v6 and v7.

upload-artifact@v7changes upload semantics(
archive: false, artifact name taken from the uploaded filename),and
download-artifact@v8turns digest mismatches into hard errorsand stops unzipping based on the
Content-Typeheader.Neither buys anything here.
The
update-citation-cffcheckout moves to v6to match every other workflow in the repository.

thollander/actions-comment-pull-requestincommit-suggestis Node 20,and has no Node 24 release yet — even
mainstill declaresnode20—so its pin stays as is.
Everything else already runs on Node 24 or is a composite or Docker action:
actions/checkout@v6,codecov/codecov-action,step-security/harden-runner,hendrikmuhs/ccache-action,peter-evans/create-pull-request,krlmlr/lock-threads,posit-dev/setup-air,and all
r-lib/actionsandr-hub/actionssteps.Test plan
Every input the workflows pass was checked against the new versions:
overwrite,retention-days,if-no-files-found,compression-levelfor
upload-artifact;pattern,run-id,github-token,merge-multiplefordownload-artifact;restore-keysforcache;and
timeout_minutes,max_attempts,commandforretry.All are still supported, so no call sites needed adjusting.
CI exercises the artifact, cache, and checkout paths on this PR;
the
revdep2sharding path needs a manualworkflow_dispatchrun.LLM disclosure: prepared with Claude Code.
