The combination of us using the past-EoL Ubuntu 18.04 and Microsoft being a bit gung-ho in their changes to GitHub Actions means that Node16, and by extension checkouts@v3 is no longer supported. Since Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't support the newer Node20, we are stuck. Thankfully, we can set the
ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION
environment variable which is project to keep the CI running until they remove support for Node16 fully.See #286 for the related CI failure, and https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/ for the GitHub blog post about this.
