Review: approved ✅

actions/checkout v6 → v7 across all 6 occurrences in ci.yml and release.yml.

v7 is a Node 24 runtime bump requiring runner ≥ 2.327.1. This repo uses GitHub-hosted runners exclusively (ubuntu-latest / macos-latest), which are well past that, so there is no self-hosted-runner exposure.

One thing I checked specifically, because it matters for release.yml: the release-notes step runs git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^, which depends on checkout's tag/history behavior. v7 does not change the default fetch-depth: 1 or tag-fetching semantics, so that step behaves as before.

Note: rebased onto the merged #180–#210 stack first. That was necessary rather than cosmetic — the original branch predated the release-gate jobs added in #208, so merging it unrebased would have bumped only the checkout steps that existed in June and silently left the new jobs on v6. Post-rebase the diff covers all 6.

Rebased, CI green.
