Poem

I hopped through CI with a nimble mix,
v4 to v6 — a small carrot fix.
Jobs now fetch with a brighter cheer,
A rabbit nods: the logs are clear. 🐇✨

Consider standardizing actions/checkout versions across workflow jobs

This update to @v6 is good, but .github/workflows/workflow.yml still uses @v4 (Line 130) and @main (Line 169). To avoid version drift and the unpredictability of floating refs, consider pinning all actions/checkout steps to the same major version (@v6).

every actions/checkout occurrence in the workflow.yml so they all use the same
pinned major version (replace `@v4` and `@main` with `@v6`) to prevent version drift
and floating refs, ensuring consistency across jobs.
