What article on docs.github.com is affected?

GitHub Actions > Creating actions > Metadata syntax

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

• Please provide an update on issue https://github.com/github/docs/issues/27673 which was moved to a private repo.

On the GitHub Actions > Creating actions > Metadata syntax page, the section runs.using for JavaScript actions lists only:

• Use node16 for Node.js v16.

Node.js 16 however entered end-of-life on Sep 11, 2023 and no newer Node.js version is listed as supported.

• On the other hand actions/runner@2.308.0 added support for node20 from PR Add node20 to runner actions/runner#2732.
• actions/runner/releases shows v2.309.0 as the current version so there is no obvious barrier to listing node20 under runs.using for JavaScript actions.
