node24 in action.yml causes workflow validation failures for users on older runners

[danieljsmythe26]

Description

The oz-agent-action uses runs.using: node24 which requires GitHub runners v2.327.1+. This causes workflow file validation failures and prevents workflows from triggering for users whose GitHub-hosted runners haven't been updated yet.

Impact

• 39 consecutive push event failures
• pull_request events stopped triggering entirely
• All versions (v1.0.1 - v1.0.4) are affected since node24 was used from the initial commit

Expected Behavior

The action should use node20 (the current stable default) until GitHub officially switches runners to node24 by default on March 4th, 2026.

Suggested Fix

Change action.yml:

- using: node24
+ using: node20

Once the March 2026 cutover happens, switching to node24 would be safe.

Environment

• GitHub Actions (github-hosted runners)
• oz-agent-action@v1 (v1.0.4)

References

• GitHub deprecation of Node 20 on GitHub Actions runners
• actions/setup-node v5 note: requires runner v2.327.1+

@danieljsmythe26 Thanks for filing this issue!

I have some reservations about downgrading this requirement especially considering Node v20 is going out of support in around 2 months.

Do you have a reference to the specific runners that you're running into issues with? It strikes me that upgrading those runners to the latest version of the GitHub runner is probably the best option here.
