`wow-actions/welcome` is the only GitHub Action still running on the deprecated Node.js 20 runtime, and it has no release targeting Node.js 24. Switch to GitHub's official `actions/first-interaction` action, which runs on Node.js 24 and posts a comment on a contributor's first pull request. This removes the final node20 dependency from CI while keeping the welcome message intact. Fixes #65432.

@mukeshpanchal27 — you're right, the first pass was over-built. I've reverted it. The only actual node20 holdout in .github/workflows/ is wow-actions/welcome, which is unmaintained and has no node24 release (even its default branch still targets node20). So rather than a version bump, I've swapped it for GitHub's official actions/first-interaction@v3.1.0 (node24), SHA-pinned per our convention. The welcome message itself is unchanged. Two minor behavioral notes with the official action:
If preserving the @mention/reaction is preferred, I'm happy to go with a small actions/github-script step instead — just let me know which you'd rather have in core. |

Summary
wow-actions/welcome@v1.3.1was the only GitHub Action still running on the deprecated Node.js 20 runtime, and no Node.js 24 release exists for it.actions/github-scriptstep, matching the other jobs in the same workflow. Removes the final node20 dependency and a third-party action while keeping the welcome behavior intact.Audit results

wow-actions/welcome@v1.3.1was the sole node20 holdout (no node24 release exists). Replacing it with an actions/github-script step eliminates the last source of node20 deprecation warnings in CI.Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65432
