Refactor: Move E2E tests to dedicated workflow for release branch

[FL4TLiN3]

Summary

• Remove E2E tests from release.yml (runs on every main push)
• Add new e2e.yml workflow that runs only on changeset-release/main branch

Motivation

Previously, E2E tests ran on every push to main, which was inefficient:

• Unnecessary API costs for non-release builds
• Longer CI times for regular PRs

New Flow

PR merged → main
    ↓
release.yml → Creates/updates Version PR (changeset-release/main)
    ↓
e2e.yml → Runs E2E tests on changeset-release/main
    ↓
E2E passes → Safe to merge Version PR
    ↓
Version PR merged → npm publish

Test plan

• Verify E2E workflow triggers on changeset-release/main push
• Verify release workflow no longer runs E2E tests

---

Note

Moves E2E tests from release.yml to a new e2e.yml workflow triggered on changeset-release/main.

• CI Workflows:
  • Add /.github/workflows/e2e.yml to run E2E tests on pushes to changeset-release/main.
  • Update /.github/workflows/release.yml by removing the E2E test step from the release job.

Bug: E2E tests no longer gate npm publish

The refactoring decouples E2E tests from the publish workflow in a way that removes the safety gate. Previously, E2E tests ran in release.yml before the changesets action, blocking publish on failure. Now E2E tests run on changeset-release/main independently, but when the Version PR is merged to main, release.yml triggers and can publish to npm regardless of E2E test results. The E2E workflow status doesn't prevent merging or publishing—a broken package could be released if someone merges the Version PR while E2E tests are failing.
