Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): replace JS-based actions with shell equivalents for
 host-mode runner

actions/checkout and actions/setup-dotnet are JavaScript actions, and act's
host execution mode has a known unfixed path-resolution bug that causes
MODULE_NOT_FOUND on their dist/index.js (nektos/act#2024). Replace them with
plain git/dotnet shell steps that work against the runner's pre-installed
toolchain.
