The coding-style workflow will fail whenever it runs on the new ARM runner, preventing formatting validation for affected changes. Use an ARM-compatible formatter or retain an x64 runner before merging.

Use an ARM64-compatible formatter or run this job on an x64 runner.

The pinned Docker action copies the x86-64 clang-format14.0.0 binary and invokes it as /clang-format/clang-format14. It provides no ARM64 binary or emulation. On ubuntu-24.04-arm, the --version check fails before formatting. The action returns a nonzero status, so the coding-style job fails whenever it runs.
