Dependency Bump Evaluation

Version change: GitHub-hosted runner ubuntu-24.04 -> ubuntu-26.04
Semver bump type: major (OS image)

Changes:

• .github/workflows/build.yaml: build job moves to ubuntu-26.04
• .github/workflows/pre-merge.yaml: generate, lint, test, test-e2e jobs move to ubuntu-26.04
• Reusable workflows from scality/workflows (release, promote, Claude review) are unaffected; they pick their own runners

Breaking changes: None identified. The actions/runner-images Ubuntu 26.04 image is GA, and ubuntu-latest is moving to 26.04 this month (November 2026), so this bump only gets ahead of that switch. The jobs need Docker and buildx (image build, kind e2e), curl, make, git and gcc (cgo/envtest). All of these are preinstalled on the 26.04 image (Docker 29.4, buildx 0.38). Go comes from actions/setup-go and kind is pinned and downloaded in the workflow, so neither depends on the image toolchain.

Security concerns: None. The runner image is first-party (GitHub), and moving off the older image keeps CI on a supported OS.

Impact on codebase: CI only; no runtime or shipped-artifact change (the operator image is built from the repo Dockerfile, not the runner OS). The build / build job already passed on 26.04. When this was written, generate, lint, test and test-e2e were still running. test-e2e (kind on Docker 29 / kernel 7.0) is the most likely to show an OS-level difference.

Recommendation: REVIEW REQUIRED

Notes: The change itself looks safe. Merge once all Pre Merge checks, especially test-e2e, are green. I am not approving because the PR is authored by renovate, and only pure dependabot PRs are auto-approved.
