README examples were bumped to actions/upload-artifact@v7, but the WARNING at the top of the README still tells users to update to v4 (and GHES section references v4+). This makes the guidance inconsistent—please update the surrounding README text to refer to v7 (or v7+ / v4+ consistently) so users know which major version is recommended.

This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:
