Merge main into dev (reconcile v1.3.1 and v1.3.2) - #495

Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: actions/checkout@v4, actions/setup-python@v5, docker/build-push-action@v3, docker/login-action@v2, docker/setup-buildx-action@v2. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/

A new Trusted Publisher for the currently running publishing workflow can be created by accessing the following link(s) while logged-in as an owner of the package(s):

Trusted Publishers allows publishing packages to PyPI from automated environments like GitHub Actions without needing to use username/password combinations or API tokens to authenticate with PyPI. Read more: https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers

The workflow was run with the 'attestations: true' input, but an explicit password was also set, disabling Trusted Publishing. As a result, the attestations input is ignored.
