Dependabot #2094, #2095 and #2096 bump actions/setup-go 6.4.0 -> 7.0.0, signpath/github-action-submit-signing-request 2 -> 3.0 and actions/github-script 8.0.0 -> 9.0.0. Each proposal is blocked only by the reviewed pin constants, the workflow-trust allowlist, the release-consumer action manifest and the installer governance assertions that hard-code the previous revisions. Carry all three bumps with those artifacts in one commit so the proposals can be closed as superseded.
All three actions keep the node24 runtime and their existing inputs and outputs; no consumer interface, installer behaviour or public contract changes. The deployment-installability and agent-lifecycle workflow references are pin-only.
Contract-Neutral: Reviewed action pin refresh with identical node24 consumer interfaces and unchanged inputs/outputs; no public-contract or installer-behaviour delta.

The stable-install smoke body is intentionally workflow_call-only so its read-only continuity caller and draft-capable release caller can supply different explicit token budgets. Treat that exact no-override shape as an auditable permission boundary while continuing to reject independent triggers and job permission overrides.
Validation: 41 workflow-trust tests, repository workflow audit, focused install-smoke contract tests, Python compilation and diff checks pass.

Replace the remaining Node 20 action pins before GitHub removes that runtime, and make the reviewed Node 24 pins a workflow trust invariant.

Retire the unused self-hosted live qualification workflow and reject future secret- or write-capable jobs on persistent or dynamically selected runners. Keep live Patrol qualification as a disposable lab operation.

Reject job-level permission expansion and unsafe checkout selection in the closed-PR capacity workflow, and report cancellation requests separately from runs that completed during the API race.
Change-source: pulse-maintainer
Cancel queued and running validation workflows for a closed pull request head so obsolete matrices cannot hold the hosted-runner limit and delay required checks. Keep the privileged close hook bound to reviewed default-branch code and cover reopen, branch-reuse, identity, and API-race boundaries.

Recognize bare sequence entries and every valid block scalar header across executable action inputs, run scripts, and step environment boundaries.
