Why is this needed?
The node20 option for GitHub JavaScript Actions is tied to Node.js 20 that is planned for End-of-life on Apr 30, 2026. It currently has the status of "Maintenance LTS".
GitHub has deprecated the use of node20 and will force runners to use node24 beginning on Mar 4, 2026 - see Deprecation of Node 20 on GitHub Actions runners.

https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/ has now announced:
Node20 will reach end-of-life (EOL) in April of 2026. As a result we have started the deprecation process of Node20 for GitHub Actions. We plan to migrate all actions to run on Node24 in the fall of 2025.

@MikeMcC399 Cypress 15 dropped support for Node 20. So could it be a problem to use Cypress 15 with
cypress-io/github-action? Maybe it works?MikeMcC399 commentedon Oct 24, 2025
