GitHub forces Node-20 actions to run on Node 24 starting 2026-06-02 and
removes Node 20 from the runner on 2026-09-16. Bumping each action to
its first Node-24 major now gets us ahead of both deadlines and silences
the deprecation warnings already firing in every CI run.
Bumps (across ci.yml, security.yml, codeql.yml, auto-label-area.yml,
issue-closed.yml, stale.yml):
- actions/checkout v4 -> v6
- actions/setup-python v5 -> v6
- actions/setup-node v4 -> v6
- actions/cache v4 -> v5
- actions/upload-artifact v4 -> v7
- actions/github-script v7 -> v9
- actions/stale v9 -> v10
- docker/setup-buildx v3 -> v4
- docker/build-push v5 -> v7
Verified each major's breaking-change notes against our usage:
- setup-node v6 limits auto-cache to npm only; we already pass
cache: 'npm' explicitly, so nothing changes.
- github-script v9 drops require('@actions/github'); none of our
scripts use it (only require('fs') and the injected github/context
globals).
- setup-buildx v4 removes deprecated inputs; we call it with no
inputs.
- build-push v6 enables build summaries by default; informational,
can disable via DOCKER_BUILD_SUMMARY=false env if it gets noisy.
codeql-action stays on v4 (already runs on Node 24). Trivy and
github-repo-stats are Docker actions and aren't affected by the
Node-20 deprecation.
170 issues have been closed with the `invalid` label (61 of them in
the last 30 days alone — ~1 in 5 of all closed issues), almost always
because the reporter hadn't run the in-app Connection Diagnostic or
checked the documented troubleshooting page. The Connection Diagnostic
shipped weeks ago but the bug-report form let people skip it: the
"I ran it" checkbox was `required: false` and the Support Package
field was optional. Tighten both.
Form changes (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml):
- Connection Diagnostic checkbox: required: false → true
- Support Package field: required: false → true ("drag the .zip
or explain why you cannot attach one")
- New required textarea "Troubleshooting steps already taken" —
forces the reporter to type WHAT they tried and WHICH wiki pages
they checked before submitting. Empty answers can't submit.
- Pre-form intro spells out the search → wiki → diagnostic →
support package sequence and cites the 1-in-5 stat
- Final-checks list grew from one to three required confirmations
(searched issues + checked troubleshooting wiki + ran Connection
Diagnostic for any connection/printing/camera issue)
Bug categorization (the gap that motivated this):
- Old `Component` dropdown was Bambuddy / SpoolBuddy / Both — no
area triage signal
- Replaced with two required dropdowns:
- Product: Bambuddy / SpoolBuddy
- Area: 15 options covering the actual feature surface +
Other / not sure
- Auto-label workflow (.github/workflows/auto-label-area.yml)
reads the Area dropdown from the rendered issue body on
open/edit and applies the matching area:* label. Tolerant of
CRLF and the _No response_ placeholder, won't re-add on edit
re-fires, warns on unknown Area values
Maintainer hand-off — labels must exist BEFORE the workflow runs,
since github-script's addLabels throws on missing labels. Create the
16 labels (15 area:* + 1 area:unsorted) once via the `gh label create`
commands captured in CHANGELOG / commit context.
OS dropdown left untouched (Docker stays — per Martin).
Printer Model dropdown verified against backend/app/utils/printer_models.py
PRINTER_MODEL_MAP: all 13 current models present (X1 Carbon, X1, X1E,
X2D, P1S, P1P, P2S, A1, A1 Mini, H2D, H2D Pro, H2C, H2S).
