Summary

GitHub Actions is deprecating Node.js 20 runners:

• June 2, 2026: Actions forced to run on Node.js 24 by default
• September 16, 2026: Node.js 20 removed entirely

softprops/action-gh-release@v2 (used in release.yml:89) currently runs on Node.js 20 and produces a deprecation warning in CI.

Action needed

• Check if a newer version of action-gh-release supports Node.js 24
• If not available by May, consider switching to an alternative (e.g. ncipollo/release-action) or setting FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true
