What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/integrating-with-code-scanning/sarif-support-for-code-scanning#validating-your-sarif-file

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The table says:

SARIF data	Maximum values	Data truncation limits
Results per run	25,000	Only the top 5,000 results will be included, prioritized by severity.

The current implementation doesn't appear to do that.

Either the text should be updated to say something else (my guess is that it's the top 5,000 results per severity), or the implementation should be changed to match the documentation (which would probably make more sense than the current behavior)
