INFL-21383: chore: Node 24 runtimes, least-privilege permissions and repaired action pins

• Description of the changes included in this PR

GitHub is removing the Node 20 runtime; these reusable workflows are consumed by every service, so their actions warn on every job org-wide. Companion to app-server#3003 (merged) and infrastructure#1826.

Node 24 bumps, all SHA-pinned, reusing versions already pinned elsewhere in this repo where one existed: checkout v2/v3/v4→v6.0.2, setup-node v3.5.0→v6.4.0, setup-go v2/v3→v6, cache[/restore] v4→v5.1.0, configure-aws-credentials v4→v6.2.1, setup-qemu v2→v4, setup-helm v1→v5.0.1, add-and-commit v9→v10, change-string-case v6→v7, argo-cd-action v2.3.0→v4.2.0, github-tag-action v6.0→v6.2, trivy-action→v0.36.0, bump-monorepo-version-tag→node24.

Behaviour kept identical where a new version changed a default:

• argo-cd-action v4.2.0 defaults the Argo CLI to 3.3.2 (v2.3.0 used 2.13.3) — both steps now pin version: 2.13.3. Moving the CLI major deserves its own change.
• setup-go v4+ enables module caching by default → cache: false (these workflows manage their own Go cache).
• setup-node v6 auto-caches when packageManager is declared → package-manager-cache: false on the frontend workflow.
• setup-qemu v4 defaults cache-image: true → false on the four steps bumped from v2.

Least-privilege: seven workflows had no permissions: block and inherited the org default. Each now declares only what it uses, at job level where only one job needs a write scope. argocd-sync no longer exports CI_GITHUB_TOKEN job-wide via GITHUB_ENV. persist-credentials: false on the 11 checkouts whose jobs never use the stored token (not on argocd-sync, github-release or git-release-helm, which push).

Two dead pins repaired — commits deleted upstream, so the steps never resolved: rtCamp/action-slack-notify@cdf0a213 → v2.4.0 (Slack notifications silently dead) and helm/chart-releaser-action@fc23f249 → the real v1.4.0 commit.

Known gap: github-tag-action has no Node 24 release (v6.2 is newest, node20), so git-release-tag keeps warning. v6.0 was node12, so still a step forward.

• Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No, but it changes workflows every service consumes via @master — reusable workflows can't be exercised from a branch, so this rests on static review.

Before merge: a reusable workflow's permissions: can only downgrade what the caller grants. actions: write is needed by the Go cache-dispatch steps; default.yaml.tftpl in the infrastructure repo already grants it, but any caller pinning its own permissions: needs it added there.

• Please declare that your PR fulfills these requirements:

• Unit tests covering my changes are included (n/a — CI config)
• I successfully ran my code on my local setup (all workflow and action YAML validated; every pin verified to resolve to a real commit)
• This branch has been successfully deployed in a development environment — reusable workflows need a caller pointed at this branch
• My code follows the project's style guidelines and has been linted
• Documentation have been added / updated (README example pin)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GitHub Actions runtimes, workflow permissions, action pins, credential settings, and cache behavior are updated across reusable actions, deployment and release workflows, build workflows, and Go automation.

Changes

GitHub Actions maintenance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reusable action runtime updates .github/actions/bump-monorepo-version-tag/*	The action runtime changes from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24. The README example changes checkout from v2 to v6.
Deployment and release workflow updates .github/workflows/argocd-sync.yaml, .github/workflows/git-release-helm.yaml, .github/workflows/git-release-tag.yaml, .github/workflows/github-release.yaml, .github/workflows/lambda.yaml	Deployment and release workflows update action versions and repository permissions. The Argo CD steps use CLI version 2.13.3. Checkout credential persistence is disabled where configured, and the release-tag condition uses format().
Build and image workflow updates .github/workflows/cached-frontend-s3-managed.yaml, .github/workflows/cached-node-ecr-image-managed.yaml, .github/workflows/cached-golang-ecr-image-managed.yaml, .github/workflows/frontend-s3-managed.yaml, .github/workflows/node-ecr-image-managed.yaml	Build workflows update checkout, cache, Node, AWS credentials, QEMU, Slack, and Trivy action references. Built-in package-manager, image, and Go caching is disabled where specified.
Go test and cache workflow updates .github/workflows/golang-tests.yaml, .github/workflows/golang-cache-manager.yaml	Go workflows add repository permissions and update checkout, setup-go, cache, and QEMU actions. Checkout credential persistence and built-in Go and QEMU image caching are disabled.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 49592

This PR updates shared workflows to Node 24 and tightens token permissions, but some write scopes still apply to jobs that do not need them, while consumer compatibility with Node 24 runners and the Argo CD CLI default remains unresolved. These changes could widen credential blast radius or prevent deployments from starting, so merge should wait for permission scoping and explicit compatibility acceptance or fixes.

Inline comments:
In @.github/actions/bump-monorepo-version-tag/action.yml:
- Line 17: Before retaining using: "node24" in the action definition, verify
that all consuming repositories and self-hosted runner fleets use Actions Runner
2.327.1 or later, and document this minimum runner requirement alongside the
action configuration.
In @.github/actions/bump-monorepo-version-tag/README.md:
- Line 71: Update the README workflow example’s actions/checkout reference to
use the commit SHA resolved by the v6 tag instead of the mutable
actions/checkout@v6 tag, preserving the example’s existing behavior.
In @.github/workflows/argocd-sync.yaml:
- Line 88: Verify that all runners matching self-hosted, prod, and arm64 meet
the Actions Runner 2.327.1 minimum required by actions/checkout v6.0.2; if not,
replace the pinned checkout reference with a version compatible with the
existing runner pool.
- Around line 127-134: Update both clowdhaus/argo-cd-action steps in the ArgoCD
sync workflow to set the CLI version explicitly, using the version supported by
the deployment fleet (v2.13.3 / CLI 2.13.3), so the app sync and app wait
commands use the compatible client.
In @.github/workflows/cached-frontend-s3-managed.yaml:
- Around line 67-76: Update every repository, organization, and enterprise
self-hosted runner group matching the affected labels to Actions Runner 2.327.1
or later so Node24-based actions execute successfully. This applies to
.github/workflows/cached-frontend-s3-managed.yaml lines 67-76;
.github/workflows/cached-node-ecr-image-managed.yaml lines 151-159;
.github/workflows/node-ecr-image-managed.yaml lines 101, 118-120, and 138-147;
and .github/workflows/cached-golang-ecr-image-managed.yaml lines 143-168,
194-227, 262, 298, and 330. The workflow action pins require no direct change;
verify all matching runner labels used by checkout, setup-node, actions/cache,
and Trivy jobs resolve only to upgraded runners.
In @.github/workflows/git-release-tag.yaml:
- Around line 22-29: Add job-level contents: write permissions to both release
jobs: .github/workflows/git-release-tag.yaml lines 22-29 and
.github/workflows/git-release-helm.yaml lines 16-18. Apply the permission to the
jobs invoking mathieudutour/github-tag-action and helm/chart-releaser-action,
respectively; no other workflow changes are needed.
- Line 21: Update the workflow step’s if condition to use a single GitHub
Actions expression, preserving the push-event check and comparing github.ref
directly with the branch input so tagging runs only for pushes to the intended
branch.
In @.github/workflows/golang-tests.yaml:
- Around line 35-37: Update both actions/setup-go steps to remove cache: false
so setup-go’s default Go module and build caching remains enabled, or add an
equivalent replacement cache step before dependency installation and builds.

@Kuses129 can you please explain why?

[Kuses129]

Parked as draft. The only part of this PR needed for the deprecation warnings on live deploy runs is two lines in cached-node-ecr-image-managed.yaml, now split out as #86 — small enough that static review is a defensible basis for merging.

Everything else here is broader hardening that was never executed: reusable workflows can't be exercised from a branch, so no job in this PR has ever run. It should be revisited deliberately, and tested by pointing a caller at this branch and dispatching a dev deploy before merge.

Two items in it are live breakage rather than tidiness, worth keeping whenever this is picked up:

• clowdhaus/argo-cd-action v2.3.0 → v4.2.0 changes the Argo CLI default from 2.13.3 to 3.3.2; this PR pins version: 2.13.3 to prevent that.
• rtCamp/action-slack-notify@cdf0a213 points at a commit deleted upstream, so gitleaks alerts and deploy notifications are silently not firing (the steps are continue-on-error).
