Update actions/checkout action to v7

Nice to knowtooling

What changed: The GitHub Actions actions/checkout action was updated from v6 to v7, bumping several sub‑actions.
Production impact: The source does not say.
Try it: Update a workflow to use actions/checkout@v7 and run it.
Source: github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3992

Understand it, then run it

Run it now

Todayrust

// This program demonstrates that the Rust compiler is unaffected by
// the actions/checkout version bump. It simply prints a message.
fn main() {
    println!("Rust code runs unchanged; the workflow uses actions/checkout@v7.");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

Rust code runs unchanged; the workflow uses actions/checkout@v7.

Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
