Update Action to use node24 runtime

[Copilot]

This PR updates the GitHub Action to use the node24 runtime instead of the deprecated node20 runtime.

Changes Made

• action.yml: Updated the runtime from using: 'node20' to using: 'node24'
• .github/workflows/ci.yml: Updated the CI workflow to use Node.js 24.x for consistency with the action runtime

Testing

• ✅ Project builds successfully with the new runtime
• ✅ Linting passes without issues
• ✅ Distribution files updated via npm run package
• ✅ Core functionality tests pass (3/4 tests, with 1 unrelated failure in offline mode)

The change is minimal and maintains full backward compatibility while ensuring the action uses the latest supported Node.js runtime in GitHub Actions.

Fixes #1467.
