Thanks @salmanmkc. A few concerns on the version bumps:
Action versions that need verification:
actions/checkout@v6— as of Feb 2026, the latest stable isv4. Doesv6exist?actions/upload-artifact@v6— latest stable isv4. Same concern.actions/download-artifact@v7— latest stable isv4.actions/setup-node@v6— latest stable isv4.actions/setup-python@v6— latest stable isv5.
If these tags don't exist on the official repos, the workflows will fail. More critically, if someone creates a fork with those tags, it becomes a supply chain attack vector — the workflow would pull code from an attacker-controlled repo.
Recommendation: Please verify each action version exists on the official GitHub Actions repos before this can be merged. If these are anticipatory bumps for future versions, they should wait until the versions are actually released.
The bumps that look correct:
codecov/codecov-action@v5benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark@v1.20.7(pinned to specific version — good practice)docker/build-push-action@v6peter-evans/dockerhub-description@v5google-github-actions/auth@v3andsetup-gcloud@v3actions-rust-lang/setup-rust-toolchain@v1.15.2(pinned — good)
Could you confirm the @v6/@v7 tags exist on the actions/* repos?

Summary
Upgrade GitHub Actions to their latest versions for improved features, bug fixes, and security updates.

Keeping GitHub Actions up to date ensures:

Actions that were previously pinned to commit SHAs remain pinned to SHAs (updated to the latest release SHA) to maintain the security benefits of immutable references.
Testing
These changes only affect CI/CD workflow configurations and should not impact application functionality. The workflows should be tested by running them on a branch before merging.
