chore: simplify and clean up CI, pin dependency versions, swap a community dependency for the official gh program

* chore: update GitHub Actions to Node 24 versions

* Update test.yml

* chore: update release workflow and dependencies

- replace softprops/action-gh-release with gh CLI for release creation and upload
- switch actions/checkout from v5 to v6
- reduce unnecessary write permissions in build and package jobs
- enable artifact merge-multiple in download step
- remove conditional success check from release job

* chore: remove unnecessary permissions and set artifact retention

* chore: pin action versions as well as cross version
