Walkthrough

This PR updates GitHub Actions workflows to add ready_for_review triggers and boolean inputs for conditional test execution, massively refactors the release pipeline (branch validation, dist-tag/is_beta handling, automated pre-release PRs), updates RELEASE.md to document stable vs beta flows, and changes package metadata in packages/xrpl/package.json.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Faucet & Node CI workflows ​.github/workflows/faucet_test.yml, ​.github/workflows/nodejs.yml	Add pull_request trigger for ready_for_review, introduce boolean workflow_call inputs (run_faucet_tests, run_unit_tests, run_integration_tests, run_browser_tests), and add per-job if guards to skip jobs when invoked via workflow_dispatch and corresponding input is false.
Release workflow ​.github/workflows/release.yml	Add required release_branch_name input, set default shell, emit dist_tag/release_branch/is_beta from validation, enforce branch/tag naming rules, derive beta vs stable flows (experimental dist tag), force checkout to release branch, create/reuse pre-release PR for stable releases, propagate outputs and gate downstream jobs, and switch Slack notifications to test-alert.
Release docs RELEASE.md	Rework into explicit Stable and Beta flows: branch naming rules, version validation, test expectations (integration/faucet skipped for beta), automated PR behavior for stable, and reviewer responsibilities.
Package metadata packages/xrpl/package.json	Update package name from xrpl → cheng-xrpl, version from 4.5.0 → 4.4.81, and repository.url to the new SSH URL.

Poem

🐇 I hopped through workflows late at night,
toggled tests to run when things are right.
Branches named and dist-tags sing,
PRs drafted on a gentle spring —
A rabbit cheers: your releases take flight! 🥕
