Research direction

Look at the CI workflow file (likely .github/workflows/ci.yml) to understand the job structure. The condition to skip jobs for commits with messages starting with 'chore(release):' needs to be added. Check the existing 'verify.yml' workflow to see how verification is called. Test by creating a dummy commit with that message pattern and observing the CI behavior.

Description

Description

Merging a release PR such as #2391 pushes a chore(release): commit to refactor, triggering both CI and release publishing. Both workflows independently call verify.yml, duplicating Linux and Windows verification.

Expected behavior

Skip both jobs in ci.yml for pushes whose head commit message starts with chore(release):. Keep PR verification and manual CI verification enabled. The release workflow continues to run its own verification before publishing.

GitHub will still create a skipped CI workflow entry. This also skips CI's macOS and E2E checks on release pushes.
