Simplify workflows (#435)

🚀 Optimize GitHub Actions: Add Path-Based Triggers and Concurrency
Controls

 ## Summary

This PR significantly optimizes our CI/CD pipeline by implementing
intelligent path-based filtering and adding concurrency controls to
prevent redundant workflow executions.

 ## Changes Made

  🎯 Path-Based Filtering

Added paths triggers to workflows so they only run when relevant files
change:

  - components-build-deploy.yml: Only triggers on changes to:
    - Component directories (components/*/)
    - Deployment manifests (components/manifests/)
    - The workflow file itself
  - e2e.yml: Only triggers on changes to:
    - Components, e2e tests, scripts, agents
    - Configuration files (.specify/, agents/)
  - frontend-lint.yml: Only triggers on changes to:
    - Frontend TypeScript/JavaScript files
    - Package management files (package.json, package-lock.json)
    - Configuration files (tsconfig.json, eslint.config.mjs)
  - go-lint.yml: Only triggers on changes to:
    - Go source files in backend/operator
    - Go module files (go.mod, go.sum)

  ##⚡ Concurrency Controls

  Added concurrency groups with cancel-in-progress: true to:
  - Prevent multiple workflows running simultaneously for the same PR
- Automatically cancel outdated workflow runs when new commits are
pushed
  - Reduce resource usage and queue times

  ##🧹 Workflow Simplification

  - Removed redundant change detection job in frontend-lint.yml
- Leveraged GitHub's native path filtering instead of custom change
detection logic

 ## Benefits

- ⏰ Faster CI: Workflows only run when necessary, reducing overall CI
time
- 💰 Cost Savings: Fewer unnecessary workflow executions = reduced GitHub
Actions usage
- 🔄 Better Developer Experience: No more waiting for irrelevant
workflows to complete
- 🚫 Prevents Conflicts: Concurrency controls eliminate race conditions
from simultaneous runs

 ## Example Impact

Before: A documentation-only change would trigger all 4 workflows
unnecessarily
  After: Documentation changes won't trigger any component workflows

Before: Pushing multiple commits rapidly could run multiple conflicting
workflows
After: Only the latest commit's workflow runs, previous ones are
automatically cancelled

 ## Testing

  - Verified workflow syntax is valid
  - Confirmed path patterns cover all relevant file types
  - Tested concurrency groups work correctly with PR scenarios

This optimization will make our CI pipeline more efficient while
maintaining the same level of code quality assurance.
