Change `using: node20` to `node24` for the get-release-notes, get-plugin-releases, and update-version-tags actions. This moves them off the deprecated Node 20 runtime and is a breaking change for consumers on runners older than v2.328.0.
Bump actions/setup-node to v6, which runs on Node 24, and refresh the action's README and usage examples to match.
Bump actions/checkout to v6, which runs on Node 24, and update the README usage example to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/checkout to v6 (runs on Node 24), and move the internal prepare-php reference and the README examples to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/labeler to v6 (runs on Node 24) and update the README usage example to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/github-script to v9 (runs on Node 24) and update the README usage example to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/github-script to v9 (runs on Node 24) and update the README checkout example to v6 and the usage example to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/github-script to v9 (runs on Node 24), move the internal get-release-notes reference to @actions-v3, and update the README usage example to @actions-v3.
Bump actions/cache to v5 (runs on Node 24) and update the README examples to checkout v6 and @actions-v3. shivammathur/setup-php@v2 already runs on Node 24, so it is left unchanged.
Bump upload-artifact to v7 and re-pin action-download-artifact (v21) and comment-coverage-clover (v0.17.0), all of which run on Node 24. Update the README examples to checkout v6 and @actions-v3.
Refresh the usage examples of eslint-annotation, stylelint-annotation, hook-documentation, and prepare-mysql to @actions-v3 and current external action versions (checkout v6, setup-node v6, Node 24).
Bump checkout and setup-node to v6 across the remaining jobs, pin the formatter jobs to Node 24, and add Node 24 to the prepare-node matrix (now 24, 22, 20).
