The workflows pin `runs-on: ubuntu-NN.NN`, so no job moves to a new Ubuntu
release behind our back, but nothing raised the pin either. A sixth job of
`🔄 Update versions` closes that: `utils/update/runner.py` reads the image
table of actions/runner-images, takes the newest x64 Ubuntu label whose
image carries no preview or beta badge, and raises every older bare
`runs-on: ubuntu-NN.NN` to it; arch-suffixed labels stay untouched. The job
opens the change as one PR over `.github/workflows`, so its CI run tests
the new image before it reaches main.
This commit carries the updater's first result: every job now runs on
ubuntu-26.04 (49 `runs-on`).
actionlint 1.7.12, the newest release, does not know `ubuntu-26.04` yet
(rhysd/actionlint#682, fix proposed in rhysd/actionlint#743), so
`.github/actionlint.yaml` declares the label until a release knows it.
act maps each `ubuntu-NN.NN` label the workflows use to the local platform
image, derived from `.github/workflows`, instead of a fixed list that did
not know ubuntu-26.04.

`ubuntu-latest` moved from ubuntu-24.04 to ubuntu-26.04 on its own
schedule, in the middle of run 39166850273, and every job that landed on
the new image met a different OS: sudo-rs instead of sudo, no ip_tables
loaded, and now the NFS probe-write of svc-storage-nfs-client failing on
26.04 swarm nodes. The same branch went red without a code change.
Every `runs-on` now names `ubuntu-24.04`. GitHub still rebuilds that image
weekly, so patches and tool updates keep arriving; only the release jump
becomes a deliberate change of the label. The CodeQL job drops its dead
swift/macos-latest branch, since no swift language is in its matrix. act
already maps ubuntu-24.04 to the local platform image.
A lint rejects any job whose `runs-on` contains a `*-latest` label.

A push to main whose head commit starts with "Release version " (the subject pkgmgr writes for every release) now cancels the main run in progress, so the release starts at once instead of queueing behind it. Every other push to main still leaves the running pipeline alone.
When the pushed main commit carries a vX.Y.Z tag, the orchestrator runs with chunk_gate false: every chunk deploys and reports, and a failed chunk still turns the run red, so release-guard and release-version stay skipped.
entry-cancel-superseded.yml mirrors the new rule behind its push guard, parenthesised so && does not bind the release clause; the mirror test composes the expected rule the same way.

A cancel request does not stop a running step. The runner asks it to end, and a step that ignores the signal keeps going, bounded only by its own timeout-minutes -- 350 for a deploy. Meanwhile the concurrency group holds the newer run on pending until the occupant is terminal, not until it is cancel-requested. Measured on run 32859801382: the cancel was accepted at 15:27:45 and thirteen minutes later ten deploy jobs were still running and the newer run still had not started.
The sweep now waits FORCE_CANCEL_AFTER_SECONDS and force-cancels whatever is still not completed. Cleanup steps are skipped for those, which is the price: the artefacts of an already superseded run help nobody. Only entry-cancel-superseded.yml sets the variable -- a closed pull request and a deleted branch have nothing waiting on the group, so they keep cancelling and walking away.

A long orchestrator sweep sometimes survives its concurrency group: the occupant sits on queued while its matrix waits for runners, cancel-in-progress does not reap it, and the newer run parks on pending until someone cancels the sweep by hand. PR #380 sat that way for nine hours behind a run from the previous commit.
entry-cancel-superseded.yml cancels those leftovers through the API. The group stays primary and untouched: it reaps within seconds and needs no runner, so the fallback normally arrives to find nothing left to do. It carries no concurrency group of its own, because the run holding a group cannot be the run that frees it.
Selection mirrors what the group would have done: cancel every matched run except the newest in the group instance, keyed the way the group is keyed. Not by head SHA, which goes stale while the job waits for a runner and would cancel the newest commit's CI while sparing the stale one. INCLUDE_PATHS keeps the sweep inside the group's own members, so a push to main cannot take the cron workflows with it.
deleted_branch_runs.sh becomes branch_runs.sh, since it now also serves live branches, and the shared parts move to lib.sh. A rejected cancel is logged and the remaining runs are still attempted; only a denied token fails the job.
