She's 7 months old (as opposed to being like 7 weeks old), and that's
not exactly an immediate goal but where I would like to end up. But do
note that my goal *included* that if she needed to go out in between
times, she would let me know.

But you haven't helped teach her how to tell you or been observant of
signs (they exist, trust me on that one) or offered adequate supervision.

Well, my other two dogs are 30-ish pounds and 40-ish pounds, and the
30-ish pound dog has geriatric post-spay incontinence, and she does okay
going out every 3-4 hours.

That's nice. My senior dog can go 24 hours. What's your point? Dogs
are individuals, just like humans. Some need to "go" more often,
especially when they are very young. Deal with it.
