Description
Using runner version 2.324.0 breaks installing dependencies

Before that, with 2.323.0 version everything was working fine
Runner version is 2.324.0 and platform is ubuntu-24.04
OS is Linux
Nothing gets errored whatsoever, installing process just hangs for hours until it timeouts

Research direction
Start by reproducing npm ci on an Ubuntu 24.04 runner with version 2.324.0, then compare the same process on version 2.323.0. Capture where the install stops and identify whether the regression is in the runner environment or dependency installation; done means the hang is explained and a verified fix or regression test prevents it.
