Since v4, pull-request-header and pull-request-footer are only set in config JSON file. In JSON, it is not convenient to set multi-lines string. Until v3, I could read the content from file and pass it to the action's input like below;

- name: Get header
  id: release-please-header
  run: echo "content=$(cat release-please-header.md)" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
- use: googleapis/release-please@v3
  with: 
    pull-request-header: ${{ steps.release-please-header.outputs.content }}

And, currently config-file is respected only when manifest json is loaded. Without manifest file, there is no way to configure pull-request-header and footer.
