This PR only updates actions/checkout from v4 to v5 in this single file, but there are 150+ other workflow files across the repository (in ci/, code-scanning/, deployments/, pages/, automation/, and .github/workflows/ directories) that still use actions/checkout@v4. This creates inconsistency across the starter workflows.

For a comprehensive upgrade, all instances should be updated together to maintain consistency. Users copying these starter workflows would encounter mixed versions, which could be confusing. Either all workflows should be updated in this PR, or this should be documented as an intentional phased rollout approach.

# NOTE: This workflow intentionally uses actions/checkout@v5 as part of a phased
# rollout of the new major version. Other workflows in this repository may still
# reference actions/checkout@v4 until they are updated in subsequent changes.
