Bumps actions/download-artifact from 7 to 8.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to false.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

Greptile Summary

This PR bumps actions/download-artifact from v7 to v8 in the workflow file, affecting the test-publish and publish jobs that download built Python packages.

  • Version updated in two locations where artifacts are downloaded for PyPI publishing
  • v8 introduces security improvements: digest checks now default to error instead of warn, failing the workflow if artifact integrity is compromised
  • v8 adds support for direct downloads and checks Content-Type headers before unzipping
  • No compatibility issues expected with the existing hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package@v2 action that uploads the artifacts
  • No code changes required; the existing artifact names and paths remain unchanged

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
  • Straightforward Dependabot version bump with security improvements (enforced digest checks). The v8 upgrade adds better integrity validation and is fully compatible with the existing artifact upload mechanism used by hynek/build-and-inspect-python-package@v2
  • No files require special attention
