Breaking Change Assessment: googleapis/release-please-action 4.4.1 → 5.0.0

According to the CHANGELOG, there is one officially listed breaking change:

⚠ upgrade to node24 — The action now runs on Node.js 24 (previously Node.js 20).

Impact on this repository's usage:

Reviewing the release-please.yml workflow, the upgrade is low risk because:

Input/Output	v4.4.1	v5.0.0	Changed?
release-type: simple	✅ supported	✅ supported	No
outputs.release_created	✅	✅	No
outputs.major / outputs.minor	✅	✅	No
outputs.tag_name	✅	✅	No
Node.js runtime	Node 20	Node 24	⚠ Yes

Conclusion: The Node.js 24 runtime requirement is the only breaking change. GitHub-hosted runners (ubuntu-latest) already support Node.js 24, so this PR should work without any changes to the workflow configuration. The inputs, outputs, and overall behavior of the action as used in this repo remain unchanged.

Additionally, v5.0.0 includes a bug fix that bumps the bundled release-please library from 17.3.0 to 17.6.0, which brings additional fixes with no functional impact to the workflow.
