fix(ci): drop EOL Python 3.8/3.9, align deps + pin actions - #17
Conversation
WalkthroughThe project now requires Python 3.10 or newer. CI tests Python 3.10–3.12, and version-gated package pins apply from Python 3.10. ChangesPython support policy
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR aligns CI and package metadata with Python 3.10–3.12, but the workflow may expose a write-capable GitHub token to repository-controlled commands and pins actions scheduled to lose Node 20 support on September 23, 2026. Update the workflow to use least-privilege permissions and disable persisted credentials, or obtain explicit security-owner acceptance before merging. Poem

actions/checkout v4 persist-credentials default true GitHub Actions pull_request GITHUB_TOKEN permissions fork pull requests documentation
💡 Result:
The actions/checkout action (v4) has a persist-credentials input that defaults to true [1][2]. When set to true, the action configures the local Git environment with the provided token (typically the GITHUB_TOKEN), allowing subsequent steps to perform authenticated Git operations (like git push) [1][3]. The token is removed during post-job cleanup [1]. Regarding GITHUB_TOKEN permissions for pull requests from forks: 1. Automatic Read-Only Restriction: GitHub security design automatically enforces read-only permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN on all workflows triggered by pull requests from forks (except for the pull_request_target event) [4][5][6]. This happens regardless of any permissions block defined in your workflow [7]. 2. Impact on persist-credentials: Even if persist-credentials is set to true and the workflow explicitly requests write permissions, the persisted token will remain read-only [3][7]. Consequently, any attempt to perform a write operation (e.g., git push) using this token will fail with a 403 error [3][7]. 3. Security Best Practice: Because checking out and running code from a fork can be a security risk (as it may execute untrusted scripts), it is standard practice to set persist-credentials: false in such workflows to prevent the token from being available in the local Git configuration [8]. If your workflow requires write access (e.g., to post comments or update status checks), you should avoid relying on the persisted token from a fork-triggered checkout and instead utilize a different event (like workflow_run) or a guarded pull_request_target to safely handle the interaction [7].

Disable persisted checkout credentials and declare read-only permissions.
actions/checkout@v4 persists GITHUB_TOKEN by default. This job runs repository-controlled installation and test commands on pull_request, so that code can read the token from local Git configuration. Fork pull requests receive read-only tokens, but this workflow does not declare permissions, so same-repository pull requests or permissive repository defaults may expose a write-capable token. Set persist-credentials: false and permissions: contents: read unless authenticated Git operations are required.

GitHub Actions Node24 hosted runners June 16 2026 Node20 removal fall 2026 official changelog
💡 Result:
As of August 27, 2026, the migration of GitHub Actions runners from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24 is in its final stages [1]. The official timeline for this transition is as follows: June 16, 2026: Node.js 24 became the default runtime for JavaScript/TypeScript actions on GitHub Actions runners [1][2]. September 23, 2026: Node.js 20 is scheduled to be removed from GitHub Actions runners entirely [1]. Workflows that still rely on Node.js 20 can temporarily continue using it by setting the environment variable ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION=true [1]. This opt-out mechanism will remain functional until the final removal on September 23, 2026, after which any action still configured to use node20 will cease to function correctly [1]. Developers are encouraged to update their action configurations by changing the runs.using field in their action.yml files from node20 to node24 [3][4]. While Node.js 20 reached its end-of-life (EOL) in April 2026, it remained available on runner images for a period to facilitate the migration to Node.js 24 [1][5]. Note that standard runner images have also separately transitioned their default pre-installed Node.js versions (often to Node.js 22) [5], which is distinct from the Node.js runtime environment used specifically for executing GitHub Actions [1].

Use Node24-compatible workflow actions.
actions/checkout@v4, actions/setup-python@v5, and actions/cache@v4 use Node20. GitHub plans to remove Node20 support on September 23, 2026, so these workflow steps can fail afterward. Retain checkout@v7, setup-python@v7, and cache@v6.

Align documented and declared Python support.
pyproject.toml now requires Python 3.10 or newer, but README.md still says Python 3.8+, which can lead users to choose an unsupported interpreter. Update the README to match. If Python 3.13 and newer are intentionally unsupported, encode that upper bound in requires-python as well.
