18-18: Verify runner version compatibility with v6 in Docker container scenarios.

The v6 upgrade changed how persist-credentials stores credentials to use $RUNNER_TEMP instead of directly in the local git config, which requires a minimum Actions Runner version of v2.329.0 for Docker container scenarios. Since all three jobs use containers (fedora:42), ensure your GitHub Actions runner meets this minimum version requirement.

While setting persist-credentials: false disables credential persistence, confirming runner compatibility is prudent for future-proofing this workflow.

Please verify that your GitHub Actions runner is at v2.329.0 or later, particularly since the workflow uses Docker containers in all jobs.

Also applies to: 34-34, 51-51
