Summary

This PR updates outdated GitHub Action versions. Specifically, it upgrades actions/setup-python from v4 to v6, actions/stale from v8 to v10, and actions/checkout from v3 to v6 to ensure compatibility with modern workflows and improved functionality.

Motivation

Upgrading to newer GitHub Actions versions ensures that the cookbook remains aligned with the latest tools and features, enhancing reliability and performance.
