Update to Node.js 24 and related dependencies

Bump Node.js version to 24 in workflows, action definition, and package requirements. Update @types/node to 24.1.0 and add engines field to enforce Node.js >=24. This ensures compatibility with the latest Node.js features and ecosystem.

-## v5 - What's new
-
-Previously, **single artifact downloads** behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:
-
-- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (direct)
-- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/my-artifact/` (nested)
-
-Now both methods are consistent:
-
-- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (unchanged)
-- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/` (updated - now direct)
-
-Note: This change also applies to patterns that only match a single artifact.
