Switch from external tmate to the Canonical tmate action
Metadata
Current evaluation
Refactor workflow files to use canonical/action-tmate instead of mxschmitt/action-tmate. Triaged, 266 days inactive.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Issue is triaged (has Type: Refactor and Status: Triaged labels) and describes a valid, scoped refactor. The workflows still use mxschmitt/action-tmate in 3 places across check-renovate.yaml and tests-weekly.yaml, so the issue remains applicable. It's a prerequisite for using self-hosted runners.
