The single build-and-deploy job bound the `github-pages` environment at
the job level, so GitHub evaluated that environment's protection rules on
every PR run — failing the check even though the deploy steps were gated
to non-PR events. This broke every PR touching plugin-registry/**, which
is exactly what a plugin-submission PR does.
Split into a PR-safe `build` job (no environment) and a non-PR-gated
`deploy` job that owns the `github-pages` environment and runs only
`deploy-pages`. Behavior on push/schedule/workflow_call is unchanged; PRs
now run build+tests without tripping the environment gate. The star
refresh calls this workflow by file path, so the job rename is safe.
