- The first Node 24/26 run timed out on every job: public AlmaLinux mirrors
served the runners at 1-150 kB/s. Use the CT130 package cache the same way
cloud-apache-container does (same pkg-cache-repos.sh and pinned CA), with
the upstream repos as fallback when the probe fails. epel-release is now
GPG-verified before install instead of fetched unverified by URL.
- npm 12 requires Node >=22.22.2; on 18/20 keep the npm Node ships with.
