-## Note
-
-Thank you for your interest in this GitHub repo, however, right now we are not taking contributions. 
-
-We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.
-
-We are taking the following steps to better direct requests related to GitHub Actions, including:
-
-1. We will be directing questions and support requests to our [Community Discussions area](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/actions)
-
-2. High Priority bugs can be reported through Community Discussions or you can report these to our support team https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report.
-
-3. Security Issues should be handled as per our [security.md](SECURITY.md).
-
-We will still provide security updates for this project and fix major breaking changes during this time.
-
-You are welcome to still raise bugs in this repo.

-### Download Artifacts by ID
-
-The `artifact-ids` input allows downloading artifacts using their unique ID rather than name. This is particularly useful when working with immutable artifacts from `actions/upload-artifact@v4` which assigns a unique ID to each artifact.
-
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
-  with:
-    artifact-ids: 12345
-- name: Display structure of downloaded files
-  run: ls -R
-```
-
-Multiple artifacts can be downloaded by providing a comma-separated list of IDs:
-
-```yaml
-steps:
-- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
-  with:
-    artifact-ids: 12345,67890
-    path: path/to/artifacts
-- name: Display structure of downloaded files
-  run: ls -R path/to/artifacts
-```
-
-This will download multiple artifacts to separate directories (similar to downloading multiple artifacts by name).

-
-## Working with Immutable Artifacts
-
-In `v4`, artifacts are immutable by default and each artifact gets a unique ID when uploaded. When an artifact with the same name is uploaded again (with or without `overwrite: true`), it gets a new artifact ID.
-
-To take advantage of this immutability for security purposes (to avoid potential TOCTOU issues where an artifact might be replaced between upload and download), the new `artifact-ids` input allows you to download artifacts by their specific ID rather than by name:
-
-```yaml
-jobs:
-  upload:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-
-    # Make the artifact ID available to the download job
-    outputs:
-      artifact-id: ${{ steps.upload-step.outputs.artifact-id }}
-
-    steps:
-      - name: Create a file
-        run: echo "hello world" > my-file.txt

-          path: my-file.txt

-        run: echo "Artifact ID is ${{ steps.upload-step.outputs.artifact-id }}"

-          # Use the artifact ID directly, not the name, to ensure you get exactly the artifact you expect
-          artifact-ids: ${{ needs.upload.outputs.artifact-id }}

-
