Bumps actions/download-artifact from 4 to 8.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v7...v8.0.0

v7.0.0

v7 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v7 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.

Node.js 24

This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

APPROVED: auto-merge: major bump evaluated as safe (high confidence).

Reason: All 4 usages of actions/download-artifact in ci.yml use only the basic 'name' and 'path' parameters, none of which changed between v4 and v8. The v8 breaking changes (ESM migration, digest-mismatch defaulting to error, unzip based on Content-Type) do not affect this codebase: ESM is transparent to callers; stricter digest checking only improves security and won't break correct uploads; the Content-Type-based unzip logic still correctly handles standard zip artifacts produced by upload-artifact@v4; and Node.js 24 runner requirement (from v7) is satisfied automatically by GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest runners. All CI checks pass on this PR.

Breaking changes: v8: ESM module migration (transparent to action callers); v8: digest-mismatch now defaults to 'error' instead of 'warn' on hash mismatch; v8: no longer unconditionally unzips downloads; checks Content-Type header first (skips non-zipped files); v7: upgraded to Node.js 24 runtime, requires Actions Runner >= 2.327.1
Test coverage: The action is used only in GitHub Actions workflow steps in .github/workflows/ci.yml. There are no unit tests for CI workflow steps. However, all CI checks pass on this PR, confirming the v8 upgrade works correctly at runtime for all 4 download steps (docker-images x2, frontend-coverage, backend-coverage).
