refactor: remove daily schedule and implement PR-based updates

- Remove daily schedule trigger from GitHub Actions
- Implement automatic PR creation for manual/dispatch triggers
- Add direct commit for code push events (to avoid infinite loops)
- Update workflow permissions for PR creation
- Simplify release logic to only handle tagged releases
- Update documentation to explain new PR-based update mechanism
