Are you willing to submit a PR?

Yes, though it unclear from PRs like PR #9730 how to actually do this for the GitHub CLI.

[matthewfeickert]

In PR #9776, the ubuntu-24.04 runner environment description was added, which includes

runner-images/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2404-Readme.md

Line 95 in 7bb1d84

- GitHub CLI 2.49.0

This is great, but for using gh attestation verify to validate a GitHub artifact attestation before publishing to an index or repository in a GitHub Actions workflow (c.f. scikit-hep/pyhf#2473)

    - name: Verify wheel artifact attestation
      env:
        GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      run: gh attestation verify dist/package-*.whl --repo ${{ github.repository }}

this now requires users to switch to ubuntu-24.04. As ubuntu-22.04 is the current ubuntu-latest runner, it would be useful to update

runner-images/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md

Line 118 in 7bb1d84

- GitHub CLI 2.48.0

to 2.49.0 there as well.
