• node24 is a documented option for runs.using for JavaScript actions
• required GitHub Actions are available in a node24 major version, including
  • actions/checkout v5
  • actions/setup-node
  • actions/upload-artifact
  • actions/download-artifact

Why is this needed?

The node20 option for GitHub JavaScript Actions is tied to Node.js 20 that is planned for End-of-life on Apr 30, 2026.

• Monitor also the transition of cycjimmy/semantic-release-action to a node24 version.

GitHub Actions is not planning to support a node22 option, and this version is being skipped.
