🚀 ci: add dev branch workflow with PR validation

- Rename ci-main.yml to ci.yml for clarity
- Add PR-based validation (type-check, lint) for dev and main branches
- Add path filtering to skip CI on docs-only changes
- Trigger staging deployment only on push to dev branch
- Keep production deployment manual with confirmation
