Summary

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE

This is a clean, low-risk dependency update that:

• Upgrades actions/checkout from v5 to v6
• Maintains all existing security configurations
• Aligns with the pattern seen in recent commits (commit 3858473 shows similar Checkout action updates)
• Introduces no security vulnerabilities or code quality issues

The change is part of routine dependency maintenance and is safe to merge.
