P2 Badge Enforce single artifact across workflow runs

The retention-days: 1 and overwrite: true settings here only affect each artifact’s lifetime and (at most) duplicate uploads within the same workflow run; they do not delete artifacts from previous runs. That means if two pushes happen in a day, both runs will still leave artifacts for up to 24 hours, so the repo can have multiple “most recent” artifacts at once, which doesn’t satisfy the “only most recent entry” requirement. Consider adding a step that deletes prior artifacts via the GitHub API before uploading the new one if you truly want only a single artifact to exist at any time.
