Bumps actions/download-artifact from 7.0.0 to 8.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to false.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

Greptile Summary

Upgraded actions/download-artifact from v7.0.0 to v8.0.0 across all workflow files. The upgrade introduces improved security with digest verification defaulting to error (previously warn), and updates handling of non-zipped files. All 12 instances download artifacts uploaded by compatible actions/upload-artifact@v6.0.0, ensuring seamless operation.

  • Updated all workflow files to use commit hash 70fc10c6e5e1ce46ad2ea6f2b72d43f7d47b13c3 for v8.0.0
  • Compatible with existing upload-artifact@v6.0.0 usage throughout workflows
  • Enhanced security: digest mismatches now fail workflows by default instead of logging warnings
  • All downloaded artifacts are JAR and ZIP files, properly handled by v8.0.0

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with no risk
  • Standard dependency upgrade with full compatibility. All artifacts are uploaded with upload-artifact@v6.0.0 which is designed to work with download-artifact@v8.0.0. The breaking change (digest verification defaulting to error) improves security without breaking existing functionality since all artifacts are from trusted sources within the same workflow.
  • No files require special attention
