chore(deps): update actions/download-artifact action to v3
Metadata
Current evaluation
Renovate PR merged, bumping actions/download-artifact from v2 to v3 across 3 workflow files (+3/-3) in commit 82abcd0a (merge ccd46986). The action has since been bumped further, now at v8.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The PR itself was the resolution and it was merged into main via commit 82abcd0a (merge commit ccd46986, branch renovate/actions-download-artifact-3.x) after one reviewer approval. It updated actions/download-artifact from v2 to v3 in three .github/workflows files; a later Renovate PR (#163, commit 8931c9ab) took it to v4 and the workflows now pin v8.
