GitHub Actions Upgrade Brief
GitHub Actions upgrade brief: what changes when a workflow moves an action from one version to another (actions/checkout v3 to v4, setup-node, upload-artifact, any owner/repo[/path]). Breaking changes from release notes, CHANGELOG and migration docs, action.yml diff (removed, renamed or new required inputs, changed defaults, removed outputs), Node runtime change (node16/node20 removed, node24), deprecations, concrete workflow edits with the SHA pin, and sources.

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
No per-endpoint history for this service yet, so this is payments indexed to its PROVIDER's wallet over 30 days. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service GitHub Actions Upgrade Brief and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=GitHub%20Actions%20Upgrade%20Brief' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://upgrade-brief.shopttyass-85f.workers.dev/github-actions/breaking-changes, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Either pay over x402 (mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402), or ask me for an organization key, which I create at https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/connections. If you have neither, ask before going further. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
