.github/workflows/build.yml (1)

46-46: Consistent version upgrade mirroring release.yml changes.

All five actions/upload-artifact steps in the build workflow are uniformly upgraded from @V3 to @v4, matching the parallel changes in release.yml. The artifact configurations remain unchanged, preserving the current publishing behavior.

Also applies to: 52-52, 58-58, 64-64, 70-70

.github/workflows/release.yml (1)

40-40: Upgrade is safe—no breaking changes apply to this configuration.

All five artifact uploads use unique names and explicit file paths with no glob patterns that would include hidden files. The 5 artifacts are well under the 500-artifact-per-job limit, and there are no duplicate artifact names that would trigger the immutability constraint. The upgrade from actions/upload-artifact@v3 to @v4 proceeds without compatibility concerns.
