is 4 the right version here? My understanding was that BL 7 required Boostrap ~> 5.0

It is! Blacklight 7 can support Bootstrap 4 and 5.
Which thank goodness, a bunch of my apps are still on 4.

No, but CI doesn't pass without them since new versions of Solr require it. The af_model change was just me pulling down the new schema from main.

This is working for me locally with a fresh Rails 8.1 / Blacklight build.

This will save my team from months of maintenance work in a time when we really need to be pushing on iterating features for product fit and migration use cases.
I believe it's fully backwards compatible, initial tests are showing this opens the door to upgrading old Geoblacklight, Spotlight, and vanilla Blacklight applications.
