Bumps actions/download-artifact from 7.0.0 to 8.0.1.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v8...v8.0.1

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

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 true.

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

Automated dependabot bump of actions/download-artifact from v7.0.0 to v8.0.1 across both download steps in the release workflow. Both references continue to use commit-hash pinning, which is correct practice.

  • Both occurrences (in the notarize job at line 451 and the publish job at line 675) are updated to the v8.0.1 commit hash 3e5f45b.
  • v8 introduces a breaking change where hash mismatches now error by default (previously a warning) and the action skips decompression for non-zipped Content-Type responses. Since the workflow uses standard upload-artifact-produced artifacts (which are always zip-wrapped), the decompression change is transparent here; the stricter hash-mismatch behaviour is a security improvement.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Routine dependency bump with no logic changes; safe to merge.

The change only updates the pinned commit hash for actions/download-artifact from the v7.0.0 commit to the v8.0.1 commit in two places. Both usages continue to pin to a full SHA, preserving supply-chain integrity. The v8 breaking changes (stricter hash-mismatch handling and Content-Type-aware decompression) are compatible with standard upload-artifact-produced artifacts used here, and the stricter hash checking is a net security improvement.

No files require special attention.
