[WIP] Fix test workflows for actions

[Copilot]

Fix Test Workflows

Root Cause Analysis

The test workflows in action-tests.yml were failing with "Binary not found" errors because:

• Tests use uses: awalsh128/cache-apt-pkgs-action@dev-v2.0 which checks out the action into a separate directory
• The action's setup.sh script expects binaries at ${{github.action_path}}/distribute/${{runner.arch}}/cache_apt_pkgs
• The binaries are built by the build_binaries job and uploaded as artifacts
• But those artifacts were never downloaded into the action's checked-out directory
• Result: setup.sh fails with "Binary not found"

Solution Implemented

Modified action-tests.yml to fix all test jobs:

• Changed all jobs to use local action reference (uses: ./) instead of remote
• Added needs: [build_binaries] to all test jobs to ensure binaries are built first
• Added checkout step to jobs that were missing it
• Added artifact download step after checkout to retrieve built binaries
• Added distribute directory setup to organize binaries by architecture (X64, X86, ARM64, ARM)
• Based branch on dev-v2.0 for proper codebase context
• Obtained code review - no issues with workflow changes
• Await final validation

Technical Details

The fix adds these steps before action usage in each test job:

1. Checkout repository code
2. Download artifacts with pattern cache-apt-pkgs-*
3. Setup distribute directory and copy binaries to correct architecture folders
4. Use local action which now finds binaries in ./distribute/${{runner.arch}}/

Testing

Ready for workflow execution test on dev-v2.0 branch.
