Triage note (2026-05-17): actions/checkout v4 → v6 spans two majors. v5 dropped Node 16; v6 has API changes around fetch-depth and submodules. Repo uses checkout in every workflow, so this needs end-to-end CI verification. Needs review + rebase. Leaving open.

Triage update (2026-05-18): the other 3 major bumps (#11/#19/#28) merged today; this one (#15, actions/checkout v4→v6) is the last remaining major. Keeping it separate because checkout is used in every workflow (validate matrix, security, docs, dependabot-auto-merge) — highest blast radius of the four. The v6 release also includes "Persist creds to a separate file" which is a behavior change worth a careful read. Plus Node 24 requirement (forced by GitHub June 2, 2026 anyway). Suggest manual review + targeted test rather than bulk admin-merge.

Closing in favor of a fresh signed PR with the same bump. Dependabot rebase didn't re-trigger CI here (only March 2026 runs visible), making the standard admin-merge path hard. The replacement will be opened immediately.

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.

Replaces Dependabot #15 (closed) which couldn't get a fresh CI run
after rebase.

Same change: bump 6 invocations of actions/checkout across the 3
workflows that use it. The v4→v6 delta is essentially the Node 24
runtime bump (which becomes mandatory on June 2, 2026 anyway) plus
an internal "persist creds to a separate file" improvement. No API
changes that affect our usage patterns (plain checkout, fetch-depth=0,
ref pinning for the docs auto-commit).
