Update automate-the-org's Add Update Label Weekly action to the Node 24 runtime

[ale210]

Overview

We need hackforla/automate-the-org's Add Update Label Weekly action to declare the node24 runtime instead of node20, because GitHub has deprecated Node 20 and is already force-running the action on Node 24. Every weekly run in devops, devops-security and incubator carries the deprecation annotation, and the forcing is transitional behaviour rather than a fix.

Action Items

• Note the change lands in a different repository. The fix is in hackforla/automate-the-org, which is not on this board and carries none of our label axes, so this issue tracks the work and the PR goes there. Nothing in hackforla/devops is edited by this issue.
• In gha-add-update-label-weekly/action.yml, change runs: using: 'node20' to using: 'node24'. Line 19 as of 2026-09-12; find it by using: if it has drifted.
• Confirm this is still the only action.yml in that repository before assuming the change is complete — it was on both 2026-09-10 and 2026-09-12, so there is no second action to sweep, but a new one would need the same treatment.
• Check whether dist/index.js needs rebuilding against Node 24, or whether the declaration change alone is sufficient. It is a bundled JS action, so the runtime declaration and the bundle are separate concerns; if the build pipeline pins a Node version, bump it in the same pass.
• Cut a new v1.x release and move the floating v1 tag onto it.
• Do not open PRs on the three consumer repos. devops, devops-security and incubator each call hackforla/automate-the-org/gha-add-update-label-weekly@v1 from their own .github/workflows/add-update-label-weekly.yml. All three float on @v1, so moving that tag propagates the fix to all three at once. Three consumer PRs would be redundant and would not make the fix land any sooner.
• After the release, run one consumer's workflow by hand — gh workflow run add-update-label-weekly.yml -R hackforla/devops — and confirm the run's annotations no longer include "Node.js 20 is deprecated". The ATO workflow has workflow_dispatch, so this does not have to wait for the weekly schedule.
• Confirm the same on a second consumer. That checks the floating tag actually resolving for every caller rather than one repo's result.

Resources/Instructions

• The annotation, seen on real runs: "Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: hackforla/automate-the-org/gha-add-update-label-weekly@v1". Found 2026-09-10 while running the post-merge regression check for Delete the four orphaned files left behind by the old label automation #220.
• A green run history is not evidence against this. The forced upgrade is GitHub's transition behaviour, so runs succeed today and will keep succeeding until the forcing stops. This is a countdown, not a breakage — check GitHub's current deprecation timeline when sizing the urgency.
• Deliberately out of scope: the actions/create-github-app-token@v3 app-id deprecation. The same runs carry a second annotation saying app-id is deprecated in favour of client-id. That line sits in each of the three consumer repos' own workflow files rather than in the action — but those files appear to have been vendored from automate-the-org in the first place, so whether a local fix would survive the next rollout is unconfirmed. Settle that before editing any of the three; this change does not fix it.
• main and the v1 tag were the same commit as of 2026-09-10, and v1 resolved to v1.3.0, so what the three repos run today is what is on that repo's main.
• Precedent for filing here rather than there: Bump actions/checkout off the deprecated v4 in @danielridgebot's workflows #182, a deprecation bump whose code lives in the @danielridgebot repo, and Move the danielridgebot workflows off secrets.DR_PAT onto the org GitHub App #223, which tracks bot-repo work on this board for the same reason.
