Description

### Describe the bug

Table of contents entry and internal references for "GitHub Actions (Recommended)" use the anchor #github-actions-recommended, but the actual section header is "## GitHub Actions" (anchor will be #github-actions). The TOC link(s) and any references to #github-actions-recommended (e.g. in Important Notices) will be broken.

Also:
Table of contents entry for "Self-hosted (Vercel/Other) (Recommended)" links to #self-hosted-vercelother-recommended, but the actual section header is "## Self-hosted (Vercel/Other)" (anchor will be #self-hosted-vercelother). The TOC link will not work.

### Expected behavior

The link should redirect to the correct section

### Screenshots / Live demo link

_No response_

101 > [!IMPORTANT]
102 > The public Vercel instance at `https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api` is best-effort and can be unreliable due to rate limits and traffic spikes (see [#1471](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1471)). We use caching to improve stability (see [common options](#common-options)), but for reliable cards we recommend [self-hosting](#deploy-on-your-own) (Vercel or other) or using the [GitHub Actions workflow](#github-actions-recommended) to generate cards in your [profile repository](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/profile-customization/managing-your-profile-readme).

Research direction

Open readme.md and inspect the table-of-contents entries, the Important Notices reference, and the headings around the GitHub Actions and self-hosted sections. Update the broken anchors to match the headings, then verify that each affected link reaches its intended section in the rendered README.
