## ⚙️ Workflow Types ## ⚙️ Workflow Types
- **protected**: Full CI/CD pipeline for mainline branches. Runs tests, builds the binary, and optionally publishes a Docker image. - **protected** Full battle mode. Ideal for `main`/`release` branches. Tests, builds, and publishes.
- **minimal**: Lean setup for pull requests or early development. Runs tests and builds only. - **minimal** Light mode for PRs and early dev. Just tests and builds.
- **tag**: Triggered on Git tags. Behaves like `protected`, ideal for versioned releases. - **tag** Triggered on Git tags. Behaves like `protected`, meant for releases.
