TLDR: I've pushed the necessary changes to allow actions/checkout@v5 use /__e/node24 while actions/cache@v4 still requires /__e/node20.

Long story: GitHub Actions mounts /__e with pre-built external tools such as Node.js. However, since there's no suitable pre-built version for Alpine Linux MUSL/ARM64, we override /__e/nodeXY and create symlinks to the system-wide installation of Node.js (actions/runner#801).

Before, /__e/node20 was enough to cater to both actions/checkout@v4 and actions/cache@v4. Now, actions/checkout@v5 requires /__e/node24 while actions/cache@v4 still requires /__e/node20.

Action Node.js
actions/cache@v4 /__e/node20/bin/node
actions/checkout@v4 /__e/node20/bin/node
actions/checkout@v5 /__e/node24/bin/node

=> Make both /__e/node20 and /__e/node24 available in the Alpine Linux container, just like they are both available in the pre-built external tools directory, so JS actions can freely choose to execute either.
