Impact

Tooling Impact

Required tooling change
Optional tooling change (include reasoning)

Pins Linux build, test, infrastructure, and packaging jobs to Ubuntu 24.04 to restore CI after the Ubuntu 26 runner transition.

Customer Impact

Customer reported
Found internally

Regression

Linux CI failures followed the ubuntu-latest runner image transition from Ubuntu 24.04 to Ubuntu 26, with sudo reporting that preserving the entire environment is not supported and -E is ignored.

Testing

Verified ten ubuntu-latest to ubuntu-24.04 replacements in .github/workflows/linux-ci.yml. The backport cherry-picked without conflicts. Local workflow execution was not performed; backport CI must pass before merge.

Risk

High
Medium
Low

Affects Linux CI infrastructure across build, test, and packaging jobs, but changes only runner selection to Ubuntu 24.04 while preserving the release branch job layout and dependencies.
