Issue Description

The CI workflows use inconsistent versions of actions/upload-artifact:

ci.yml uses actions/upload-artifact@v3 (all jobs)
nightly-quality.yml uses actions/upload-artifact@v4 (quality reports upload)

This version mismatch creates maintenance risk and potential behavioral differences in artifact handling between workflows.

Impact

actions/upload-artifact@v3 and v4 have different behaviors (v4 changed artifact naming, retention, and download compatibility)
Artifacts uploaded with v3 cannot be downloaded with actions/download-artifact@v4 and vice versa
The release.yml uses actions/download-artifact@v3 to download the wheel artifact
Inconsistency makes it harder to reason about artifact compatibility across workflows

Expected Behavior

Standardize on @v4 (the current stable version) across all workflows.

Subtasks

Audit all workflow files for upload-artifact and download-artifact action versions
Standardize all to @v4 (or document a deliberate reason to stay on @v3)
Verify artifact upload/download compatibility after the change
Update release.yml's download-artifact step to match

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks above are completed and checked off.
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly.
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
