A push to main runs main.yml, which both tests and publishes a dev/latest release. We don't want to cut a dev release when a merge only touches CI workflow YAML, but we DO still want tests/lint and the license check to run. Add a `changes` job (dorny/paths-filter) and gate the build/deploy/droid/cli jobs on it. The release still runs for any non-workflow change OR for edits to the build/deploy workflows themselves, so deploy-logic changes get validated (per review feedback). It is skipped only when a push touches solely non-release workflow YAML (e.g. test, claude, labeler). The deploy jobs cascade-skip via their build `needs`; test and license_finder are left ungated. workflow_dispatch is unaffected (the gate short-circuits when event != 'push').

Add a
changesjob (dorny/paths-filter) that flags whether the push touched anything outside .github/workflows/**, and gate only the build/deploy/droid/cli jobs on it. The deploy jobs cascade-skip via their buildneeds. The test and license_finder jobs are left ungated so they always run. workflow_dispatch is unaffected (the gate short-circuits when event_name != 'push').
