Explanation of Change

This PR removes two deprecated actions-ecosystem GitHub Actions that trigger Node.js 20 deprecation warnings, and bumps all remaining actions/checkout pins from v4 to v6 across the repository. Node.js 20 warnings will stop working in September if not migrated before then.

1. Replace actions-ecosystem/action-get-merged-pull-request

The upstream action lists the 100 most-recently-updated closed PRs and scans for a merge_commit_sha match — which can miss the target PR if the window is exceeded. This PR replaces it with a new composite action (.github/actions/composite/getMergedPullRequest) that calls the more reliable GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/pulls REST endpoint via gh api + jq. This API is already used in testBuildOnPush.yml. The composite action exposes the same outputs (number, title, body, labels, assignees) for drop-in compatibility.

Affected workflows: preDeploy.yml, sendReassurePerfData.yml, deployNewHelp.yml.

2. Replace actions-ecosystem/action-create-comment

The skipDeploy job in preDeploy.yml used this deprecated action to post a "deferred staging deploy" comment. Replaced with a gh pr comment run step using the same OS_BOTIFY_TOKEN, matching the existing pattern in deployNewHelp.yml.

3. Bump actions/checkout from v4 to v6

Every remaining actions/checkout@8ade135... (v4) pin across the repository is updated to actions/checkout@de0fac2... (v6), clearing the Node 20 deprecation warning repo-wide.

Fixed Issues

$ #86670

Tests

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console
  1. After merging, observe a push to main from a merged PR
  2. Verify the preDeploy workflow still populates MERGED_PR correctly and subsequent jobs (deploy or skip-deploy comment) function as before
  3. Verify sendReassurePerfData still passes the PR number to getGraphiteString
  4. Verify deployNewHelp still posts the production deploy comment on the merged PR
  5. When deploy is skipped (non-deployer or checklist locked), verify the deferred-deploy comment still appears on the merged PR

Offline tests

N/A — CI-only changes, no app behavior affected.

QA Steps

[No QA] — these changes affect GitHub Actions workflows only. They don't modify any application code or user-facing behavior.

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I verified there are no new alerts related to the canBeMissing param for useOnyx
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
      • If any non-english text was added/modified, I used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
    • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
    • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
    • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
  • I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.ts or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
  • I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
  • If any new file was added I verified that:
    • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Replace actions-ecosystem/action-get-merged-pull-request with a composite
action (.github/actions/composite/getMergedPullRequest) that calls
`gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/commits/{sha}/pulls` — the same REST
endpoint already used in testBuildOnPush.yml. This avoids the 100-PR
window limitation of the old action and removes the Node 20 deprecation
warning it triggers.

Replace actions-ecosystem/action-create-comment in preDeploy.yml's
skipDeploy job with a `gh pr comment` run step using the same
OS_BOTIFY_TOKEN pattern.

Bump every remaining actions/checkout pin from v4 (8ade135) to v6
(de0fac2) across all workflows so the Node 20 deprecation warning
is cleared repo-wide.

@AndrewGable requesting your review instead. TL;DR Node 20 actions will stop working in September and actions-ecosystem/get-merged-pull-request hasn't been updated in 5 years, so I created a composite action using gh cli instead.

P1 Badge Pass repository explicitly to deferred deploy comment

skipDeploy now runs gh pr comment with only a PR number, but this job no longer checks out the repository. In gh pr comment docs, repository selection is inherited from parent flags (-R/--repo) when local repo context is absent; without checkout and without -R, this path can fail to resolve the repo and the job will error when deploy is skipped (the common non-deployer/checklist-locked path). Please add --repo ${{ github.repository }} (or set GH_REPO) so commenting works reliably in this checkout-free job.

The codex comment is correct — the skipDeploy job has no actions/checkout step, so gh pr comment won't have local repo context to resolve the target repository. The fix is to add --repo ${{ github.repository }} to the gh pr comment call.

The current line:

gh pr comment ${{ needs.chooseDeployActions.outputs.MERGED_PR }} --body "$(cat <<'EOF'

Should be:

gh pr comment ${{ needs.chooseDeployActions.outputs.MERGED_PR }} --repo ${{ github.repository }} --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
