- Introduced an `orchestrate` job to determine which CI jobs to run based on changed paths in pull requests.
- Updated Rust workflow to conditionally execute jobs like linting, testing, and plugin SDK based on the selection logic.
- Added a new script `select_rust_jobs.py` to handle job selection logic without requiring a Rust installation.
- Enhanced documentation to explain the new CI execution model and its implications for contributors.
- Modified `.gitattributes` to ensure nested CI scripts under `scripts/ci/` are correctly matched.
- Updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` for clarity and added details on local checks, including the importance of `--no-fail-fast` in testing.
- Introduced new GitHub Actions for setting up Rust and managing documentation workflows, improving CI efficiency.
- Removed the outdated `native-checks.yml` workflow and replaced it with a more comprehensive `rust.yml` workflow for better testing coverage.
- Added scripts for verifying release assets and installing necessary tooling, enhancing the release process.
This commit refines the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring better organization, clarity, and functionality across workflows and documentation.
