## What

- Bump `actions/checkout` to v4 across every workflow.
- Bump `actions/setup-java` to v3 (the `setup-java@v1` step in `buildcache.yml` stays, matching 42.5).
- Replace `gradle/wrapper-validation-action@v1` with `gradle/actions/wrapper-validation@v4`.
- Switch `docker-compose` invocations to `docker compose`.
- Drop the PostgreSQL 8.4/9.0 entries and the `self-hosted` runner axis from the test matrix in `matrix.js` and `omni.yml`.

## Why

The pinned action versions run on deprecated Node runtimes, and the standalone `docker-compose` binary is gone from current GitHub-hosted runners, so the workflows no longer run. The PostgreSQL 8.4/9.0 images and the self-hosted runners are also no longer available. This mirrors the 42.5 update on `codex/update-actions-42.5`, adapted to the older action versions on this branch.

## How to verify

- `node .github/workflows/matrix.js` generates a non-empty matrix.
- All eight changed workflow files parse as valid YAML, and the inline matrix script in `omni.yml` passes `node --check`.
