DevContainer User eacf41302c cleanup: remove redundant workflows and simplify CI/CD

Removed 4 redundant workflow files:
- helm-publish.yaml (integrated into release-unified)
- helm-release.yaml.old (the auto-version-bump nightmare)
- release.yaml (replaced by release-unified)
- tag-release.md (old docs, replaced by README.md)

Now down to just 3 clean workflows:
- release-unified.yaml: Complete release process
- quick-fix.yaml: Emergency Docker builds
- build-and-push.yaml: Automatic CI for PRs/tags

Also updated documentation to reflect the simplified pipeline.

CI/CD Pipeline Guide

🚀 Simplified Pipeline - Only 3 Workflows!

1️⃣ For Releases → Unified Release

Use this for all version releases:

Go to Actions → Unified Release
Click "Run workflow"
Either:
- Enter specific version (e.g., 0.2.1), OR
- Choose release type (patch/minor/major) for auto-increment
Click "Run workflow"

This single workflow does EVERYTHING:

✅ Updates chart version
✅ Creates git tag
✅ Builds Docker image with all proper tags
✅ Publishes Helm chart to GHCR
✅ Creates GitHub Release with changelog
✅ No more [skip ci] blocking builds!

2️⃣ For Quick Fixes → Quick Fix Build

Use this for emergency fixes without version changes:

Go to Actions → Quick Fix Build
Click "Run workflow"
Enter tag (default: latest)
Click "Run workflow"

Just builds and pushes Docker image - no version bumps, no releases.

3️⃣ Automatic CI → Build and Push

Runs automatically on:

Pull requests (builds but doesn't push)
Tags starting with v* (builds and pushes)
Manual trigger available

Workflow Files

Workflow	File	Purpose	When to Use
Unified Release	`release-unified.yaml`	Full release process	New versions
Quick Fix Build	`quick-fix.yaml`	Docker build only	Hotfixes
Build and Push	`build-and-push.yaml`	CI/CD automation	PRs & tags

Examples

Release a new version

# Via GitHub UI (Recommended):
# Go to Actions → Unified Release → Run workflow

# Via GitHub CLI:
gh workflow run release-unified.yaml -f version=0.2.1
# OR auto-increment:
gh workflow run release-unified.yaml -f release_type=patch

Push a quick fix

# Via GitHub UI:
# Go to Actions → Quick Fix Build → Run workflow

# Via GitHub CLI:
gh workflow run quick-fix.yaml -f tag=hotfix-1

Check workflow status

# List all recent runs
gh run list --limit 5

# Watch a specific workflow
gh run watch

Version Strategy

Major (1.0.0): Breaking changes
Minor (0.2.0): New features
Patch (0.2.1): Bug fixes

What We Fixed

Before (Nightmare 😱)

Auto-version-bump with [skip ci] prevented Docker builds
6+ disconnected workflows
Manual tag deletion and re-pushing
Version conflicts everywhere

After (Simple! 🎉)

3 total workflows (down from 6+)
1 button for complete releases
No more [skip ci] blocking builds
Clear separation of concerns
