[BUG] CI workflow uses Node.js 14 (EOL) instead of a supported version

[Varadraj75]

Describe the bug.

The CI workflow runtime-go-testing.yml is currently configured to run using Node.js 14, which has reached End of Life.

This creates an inconsistency with the rest of the repository, which is moving toward newer Node.js versions, and may lead to unreliable CI results, security risks, or failures when using modern dependencies that no longer support Node 14.

The issue is limited to the CI configuration and does not affect runtime behaviour for library consumers, but it can cause misleading CI outcomes and complicate maintenance.

Expected behavior

The CI workflow should run using a supported and non–EOL Node.js version, ideally aligned with the project’s current baseline (Node.js 20).

This ensures:

• Consistent CI results
• Compatibility with modern tooling and dependencies
• Reduced security and maintenance risks

This issue is related to CI configuration and does not involve any UI or visual output.

How to Reproduce

1. Open the file .github/workflows/runtime-go-testing.yml.
2. Locate the actions/setup-node step in the workflow.
3. Observe that the workflow is configured with node-version: 14.
4. Run the CI workflow and note that it executes using Node.js 14, which is End of Life.

Hi @jonaslagoni ,

This issue highlights that one of the CI workflows is still using Node.js 14, which is now End of Life.
Since this is a CI-only configuration and does not affect the public API, I wanted to check with you on the preferred approach before proceeding.

Could you please take a look and let me know:

• Whether updating the CI Node version to Node.js 20 is acceptable, or
• If you’d prefer a different supported version or any additional changes to include?

Happy to work on a PR based on your suggestion.
Thanks for your time and guidance!
