Note

Low Risk
Low risk workflow-only change that updates actions/checkout in CI/publish; main risk is unexpected runner/action compatibility issues affecting pipeline execution.

Overview
Updates GitHub Actions workflows to use actions/checkout@v6 instead of @v4 in both CI (ci.yml) and release publishing (publish.yml). No application code, build, or publish logic changes are included.
