github: update the github-action versions to fix some warnings about nodejs-20 instead of nodejs-24

[svalat]

Target

Try to avoid the warning about NodeJS-20 instead of NodeJS-24 in github actions.

In theory updating the versions of the action libraries used in the project should avoid the warning.

I updated to last release available :

• actions/checkout : 3.6.0 -> 7.0.1
• actions/setup-python : 4.9.1 -> 6.3.0 (there is a 7.0.0 just released one month ago, but I preferred to used the last stable one).
• pre-commit/action : 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1
• pre-commit-ci/lite-action : 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1

Pointers

Migration to NodeJS-24 is effective since 16 june 2026 : https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/

Warning solved

Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: actions/cache@v3, actions/checkout@f43a0e5ff2bd294095638e18286ca9a3d1956744, actions/setup-python@7f4fc3e22c37d6ff65e88745f38bd3157c663f7c, pre-commit-ci/lite-action@50143aaf27e2c42e75a5e06185a471d9582e89df. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/

Still

The port to NodeJS-24 is not yet done "a priori" for pre-commit-ci/lite-action so the upgrade do not solve it. To be seen later.

I'd recommend setting up dependabot to automate these upgrades. It now supports arbitrary cooldown periods so you can easily exclude too-new versions.

@neutrinoceros : thanks for the suggestion. We don’t believe that the GitHub Actions and Python dependencies are so crucial to the project that they necessitate a dependabot, so we will continue to perform manual updates.

@svalat : there are a bunch of warning
"Failed to download action 'https://codeload.github.com/actions/checkout/tar.gz/3d3c42e5aac5ba805825da76410c181273ba90b1'. Error: Response status code does not indicate success: 429 (Too Many Requests). "
In the ci workflow. Any idea where this is coming from?

If you want to keep doing them manually I recommend pinact (or gha-update)

pinact run update supports a -min-age option to implement cooldowns
