What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply bumps the GitHub Actions 'checkout' step from version 5 to version 6 in the project's continuous integration (CI) workflow file. It does not change any Bitcoin Core source code, consensus rules, wallet logic, or network behavior. There is no indication of a security fix or vulnerability.
No security action required. Treat as routine CI maintenance.
