Walkthrough

This pull request enhances CI/CD workflow control and release automation across the repository. It adds conditional execution inputs to test workflows, significantly expands the release pipeline with beta/stable release differentiation, validates release parameters, automates pre-release PR creation, and updates package metadata including name, version, and repository URL.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI Workflow Enhancements \.github/workflows/faucet_test.yml, \.github/workflows/nodejs.yml	Added PR event triggers and optional workflow_call inputs (run_faucet_tests, run_unit_tests, run_integration_tests, run_browser_tests) with conditional job execution guards to allow selective test skipping on PR events.
Release Workflow Restructure \.github/workflows/release.yml	Introduced release_branch_name input, comprehensive parameter validation (dist tag sanitization, beta/stable path logic, trigger origin checks), automated pre-release PR creation from release branch to main, dynamic NPM dist tagging, and adjusted test invocations based on release type. Updated Slack notifications and added failure alerting orchestration.
Release Documentation Update RELEASE.md	Documented new beta release flow with separate tagging/publishing steps, clarified stable/beta triggering requirements and input parameters, updated pipeline stages to reflect pre-release PR creation, and added guidance on branch naming and package-lock.json handling.
Package Metadata packages/xrpl/package.json	Changed package name to cheng-xrpl, downgraded version from 4.5.0 to 4.4.82, and updated repository URL from XRPLF to xpring-eng organization.

Poem

🐰 With workflows refined and releases in bloom,
Beta paths branching through the release room,
Pre-release PRs hop straight from the nest,
While package names shift for this new test quest,
The pipelines dance—now it's control at our best! 🚀
