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.

Seven workflows declared actions: write or packages: write at the top level, so every job in the file inherited it, including any job added later by someone not thinking about the token. Scorecard flags each as TokenPermissionsID.
Each write now sits on the single job that uses it and the top level is contents: read throughout. The read scopes those jobs also need moved down with the write, so no job is narrower than before; each file has one job, so the effective token per job is unchanged and only the default for a future job changes.
call-images-mirror-missing.yml is reusable; both callers already grant packages: write on their own job, so the caller-side cap is the same as before.

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.

The PR-close canceller had no concurrency group at all, so cancelling
depended entirely on scripts/github/cancel/pull_request_runs.sh, which
needs a runner before it can call the API. Runners were 20 minutes to 21
hours out, and run 31451265380 stayed alive that whole time.
The canceller now joins the group entry-pr-change-orchestrate.yml renders
for the same PR. GitHub clears the group when the run is created, before a
runner is assigned, so the orchestrator dies immediately and the script
becomes a backstop instead of the only path.
The group spells pull_request out literally rather than interpolating
github.event_name. This workflow is triggered by pull_request_target, so
the interpolated form would join the twin the orchestrator's own job
guards already skip on a same-repo PR and leave the working run untouched.
A fork PR runs both twins; the pull_request_target one is still left to
the script.
The branch-delete sweep filtered runs by head_branch alone and shot this
canceller mid-cancel. It now excludes the canceller's own path.

The workflow directory mixed entry points, reusable stages and scheduled jobs into one flat list sorted by topic, so the first question about any file - what starts it - was the one the name did not answer. Every workflow now carries one of three prefixes, derived from its on: block: cron- for a schedule trigger, call- for one only reachable through workflow_call, entry- for everything a repository event or a human starts. Scheduled workflows additionally carry an alarm clock as the first character of their name.
Two lints keep it that way. One derives the expected prefix from the triggers and compares it against the file name; it flagged all 17 offenders before the rename and none after. The other resolves every .github/workflows/<file> string in the repository against the directory, which is what a rename silently breaks in Markdown links, Python constants and shell API URLs alike.
Renaming pulled 69 pre-existing comments into the comment lint's changed-file scope. The vendored CodeQL template got the nocheck marker its scorecard sibling already carried, two workflow headers moved above name: where they count as file headers, and the remaining banners were deleted.
