AI pull request note

Summary
PR updates actions/checkout from v4 to v6 in two GitHub Actions workflows.

Review notes

  • The update to actions/checkout@v6 requires verifying that the Actions Runner version is at least v2.327.1 (per the changelog for v5).
  • The new actions/checkout@v6 changes how credentials are persisted, switching to a separate file under $RUNNER_TEMP. Ensure workflows or dependent processes are not impacted by this change.

Risk
There is a concrete runtime risk if the Actions Runner version used in the workflows is below the required minimum version (v2.327.1). This should be validated to avoid compatibility issues and potential failures. Additionally, the change in credential handling may require testing to ensure no disruptions occur. Validation and testing are strongly recommended before merging.
