🚀 Optimize CI performance with parallel jobs and caching

- Split monolithic build-and-test into 4 parallel jobs (setup, build, lint, test)
- Add dependency caching with actions/setup-node@v4 yarn cache
- Cache build artifacts between jobs to avoid rebuilding
- Upgrade to latest GitHub Actions (checkout@v4, setup-node@v4)
- Skip CI runs on documentation-only changes
- Optimize Jest with --maxWorkers=2 for better CI performance
- Add fail-safe caching for main-release job

Expected performance improvement: 40-50% faster CI runs
