…n GitHub Actions fs.renameSync fails with EXDEV when the source temp file (downloaded by @actions/tool-cache to /home/runner/_work/_temp/) and destination (/tmp/hawk-bin-<ver>/hawk) are on different filesystems — which is the case on GitHub Actions Linux runners. Replace with copyFileSync+unlinkSync, which works across filesystem boundaries. This only affects the 6.0.0+ binary install path (new in ENG-599); the legacy ZIP path was unaffected.

Description of the change
fs.renameSyncfails withEXDEV: cross-device link not permittedwhen the source temp file (downloaded by@actions/tool-cacheto/home/runner/_work/_temp/) and the destination (/tmp/hawk-bin-<ver>/hawk) are on different filesystems — which is the default on GitHub Actions Linux runners. This only affects the 6.0.0+ binary install path added in ENG-599; the legacy ZIP path was unaffected.Fix: replace
renameSyncwithcopyFileSync+unlinkSync, which works across filesystem boundaries. ThechmodSync('755')that follows is unchanged and still runs on the destination file.Type of change
