refactor: improve CI/CD trigger strategy following best practices

🔧 **Workflow Trigger Improvements**

## ✅ **Removed Hard-coded Feature Branches**
- **CI Pipeline**: Only master branch + PRs (no temporary feature branches)
- **Auto Publishing**: Only master branch (stable development builds)
- **Manual Publishing**: Available from any branch when needed

## 🎯 **Benefits**
- **Maintainable**: No need to update workflows for every feature branch
- **Scalable**: Works for any future feature branches automatically
- **Clean**: CI only runs at integration points (master + PRs)
- **Efficient**: Eliminates duplicate workflow runs

## 🚀 **Result**
- ✅ Follows GitHub Actions best practices
- ✅ Reduced maintenance overhead
- ✅ Clean separation of concerns
- ✅ Ready for production use

CI/CD modernization is now production-ready! 🎉
