Description

This PR updates the GitHubReleaseV1 task to add Node.js 24 support. Key changes include:

• Node.js 24 Runtime Support: Added Node24 execution handler to task.json and task.loc.json
• Dependency Updates:
• Updated @types/node from ^20.3.1 to ^24.10.4
• Updated azure-pipelines-task-lib from ^4.3.1 to ^5.2.4
• Updated typescript from 5.1.6 to ^5.7.2

Risk Assessment (Low / Medium / High)

Medium

Reasoning:

• Scope: Changes affect core dependencies including task library and Node.js types
• Impact: The task is updated up to Node 24
• Backward Compatibility: Full backward compatibility maintained through override

The risk is mitigated by:

• Maintaining Node20_1 support alongside Node24 (with override process)
• No changes to task logic or functionality

---

Change Behind Feature Flag

No

This change cannot be behind a feature flag because:

• The Node24 handler is additive and can't be covered with a feature flag

Additional Testing Performed

• Build verification: Ensure task builds successfully with updated dependencies
• Runtime testing: Verify task executes correctly on Node.js 24 runtime (on self-hosted agent v4.266.2)
• Backward compatibility: Confirm task still works with Node20_1 handler
• Integration testing: Test all three release actions (create, edit, delete)
• Manual testing: Validate GitHub API integration with updated dependencies
