v4 triggers warnings of the form:
> Node.js 20 actions are deprecated. The following actions are running
on Node.js 20 and may not work as expected: actions/checkout@v4. Actions
will be forced to run with Node.js 24 by default starting June 2nd,
2026. Node.js 20 will be removed from the runner on September 16th,
2026. Please check if updated versions of these actions are available
that support Node.js 24. To opt into Node.js 24 now, set the
FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24=true environment variable on the
runner or in your workflow file. Once Node.js 24 becomes the default,
you can temporarily opt out by setting
ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true. For more information see:

kkarrenn@: bypassing the Test/credentials_json checks as they require service account key rotation and not relevant to this change. Gave up attempting to rotate the keys - they're needed for testing only IIUC.
This adds a new authentication mode, Direct Workload Identity
Federation. This new mode permits authenticating to Google Cloud
directly using the GitHub Actions OIDC token instead of proxying through
a Google Cloud Service Account.
