…nner GitHub now automatically fails any job using actions/cache < v3 latest or upload-artifact v2, and the ubuntu-20.04 hosted runner has been retired, so every R-CMD-check run currently fails during setup before R starts. - actions/cache v3.3.1 -> v4 - actions/upload-artifact v2 -> v4 (artifact names are already unique per job) - ubuntu-20.04 runner -> ubuntu-22.04, with matching RSPM repo (focal -> jammy) and remotes::system_requirements lookup

Thanks for this - I recently fixed the actions version but I did not fix the ubuntu issue. There were some other issues in the code that were causing errors after I got the actions working but ubuntu still failed.

Summary
Every R-CMD-check run currently fails during job setup, before any R code executes, because GitHub now automatically rejects deprecated action versions and has retired the ubuntu-20.04 hosted runner:
(actions/cache notice, artifact actions notice, ubuntu-20.04 retirement)
Changes
actions/cachev3.3.1 → v4actions/upload-artifactv2 → v4 (both uses; artifact names were already unique per job, which v4 requires)ubuntu-20.04runner →ubuntu-22.04, with the RSPM repository (focal → jammy) andremotes::system_requirements()lookup updated to matchVerification
Run on my fork with these changes: https://github.com/PouyanJay/CommonDataModel/actions/runs/29622329863 — jobs now provision and execute (macOS completed successfully) instead of failing in ~4 seconds during setup.
Note: this also affects PR checks — currently every PR to this repo gets a red X from these setup failures regardless of its content (e.g. #794).
