Act version

act version 0.2.80

Feature description

The GitHub Runners >= v2.327.1 now support node24.
See the checkout PR and runner-images announcement.
Their docs are behind, but production GitHub.com accepts runs.using: node24.
- https://github.com/actions/checkout/tree/v5.0.0
- https://github.com/prefix-dev/setup-pixi/releases/tag/v0.9.0
The runners will support the 3 LTS versions of Node.js
Per https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/12477#issuecomment-3181189037 they won't add support for Node.js 24 officially until it becomes LTS. That should be in October according to the release schedule (see link below).

I see this has already been reported in #5883 and merged in via #5899. Closing this issue. The next automated release will have support for node24.
