Dependabot raised this as google-github-actions/release-please-action v3 -> v4. That repository is archived - GitHub describes it as "Archived version of release-please" and it was last pushed in May 2024 - so its v4 is a frozen dead end. The action moved to googleapis/release-please-action, which is on v5 and still maintained. v4 was the disruptive release: it dropped most inputs in favour of manifest configuration, was rewritten in TypeScript and moved to release-please v16. Only `release-type` and `token` are used here and both survive, so nothing in this workflow has to change beyond the reference. v5's sole breaking change on top of that is the node24 runtime, which the runners already provide. `release-type: simple` keeps working without a manifest. There is no version.txt in this repository, so the strategy only maintains CHANGELOG.md and the tag, which is what the last few release commits did. Tags stay `v<version>` because `include-component-in-tag` still defaults to false. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
