N/A

What I did

  • Github is deprecating Node 20 in their actions by September 16th 2026, those actions that are being updated still is based on node 20. Those actions are currently being forced to run at node 24. And I figured that those are rather harmless to upgrade to the newest version instead of stamping them with a ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates GitHub Actions versions in AWS deployment and CI workflows. It pins the uv setup action, upgrades the CI Node.js and PostgreSQL versions, and sets TCF_ENV to ci.

Changes

GitHub Actions updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
AWS deployment action updates
.github/workflows/aws.yml
The AWS deployment workflow updates checkout, AWS credentials, Docker Buildx, and Docker build/push actions.
CI job action updates
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The CI jobs update checkout, uv, and Node setup actions. The ESLint job uses Node.js 24.
CI environment and service updates
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The CI workflow sets TCF_ENV to ci and upgrades the PostgreSQL service image to postgres:18.1.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ee89f

The PR updates GitHub Actions and changes the CI database image, but PostgreSQL 18.1 still has identified security issues, and existing workflow permission, credential-retention, and cache-concurrency concerns remain unresolved. The impact is limited to CI, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to use a patched database image and address the workflow hardening items.

preventing pull-request runs from reaching actions/checkout. Keep the existing
head_sha checkout behavior and do not enable allow-unsafe-pr-checkout.
- Around line 24-29: Add a job-level permissions block to the deploy job
containing only contents: read, so the GITHUB_TOKEN used by actions/checkout is
restricted and all unspecified permissions are disabled. Keep the existing
checkout ref and AWS credential configuration unchanged.

Apply the same fix in @.github/workflows/ci.yml at line 26: The same
least-privilege permission declaration is required for the CI workflow.

- Line 26: Update every actions/checkout step in the CI workflow to set
persist-credentials to false, preserving authentication only where a later step
explicitly requires authenticated Git operations.
- Around line 28-29: Update the four Python CI jobs using astral-sh/setup-uv so
only one job retains cache saving; add save-cache: false to the setup-uv
configuration in the other three jobs, preserving the existing cache key and
setup behavior.

non of those coderabbit comments are specifically to this commit. They are choices made earlier, worth looking separately but not a blocker for this PR.

While we are making these changes, can we pin the new versions to commit hashes instead of just the @vX? Also, did we test these actions to see if they are pulling in the right versions? CI ran on this PR but still looks like it's using Node 20 and not 24. Maybe we could use act to test it locally to confirm.

If we can pin new versions to commit and verify the right Node version is running, we can merge.

@gyoge0 good call on the eslint ci step, forgot to change that from 20 to 24, just changed. To your question:

  1. can we pin the new versions to commit hashes instead of just the @ vX

I assume you meant the setup-uv, from their official docs, pinning the hash commit is the way to go so I went for it: https://github.com/astral-sh/setup-uv, I also cannot find any reference to pinning it with a version so

  1. Also, did we test these actions to see if they are pulling in the right versions?

I tested ci.yml, worked just fine. Not going to test aws.yml, it needs aws credential, I am not going to run it as I think it might mess things up. But generally I don't think github action update would change anything, it should be a very low risk change

  1. CI ran on this PR Node 20 and not 24.
    I updated that step to use node-version 24, good catch

Looks good, will wait for Yogesh to take a look before merging

Yes, can we do this for all of the actions and not just uv? After that we can merge.

I think setup-uv is the only one that's doing this, the other github and aws ones use versions.
