[ci] new logic for ci workflow to use macOS only on demand or for releases (#59)

* [ci] new logic for ci workflow to use macOS only on demand or for releases

* restore some wanted lines

* Yes — your version is much closer to the correct logic than mine, and it correctly preserves the “label is the gate” + “runs on subsequent pushes” behavior.

* Fix indentation in CI workflow file

* Update CI workflow to include artifact creation and tests

Added steps for creating plugin artifacts and launching tests.

* Remove unnecessary blank line in ci.yml

* Update CI workflow to limit OS matrix

Simplified the OS matrix for CI workflow to only include Ubuntu and Windows.

* Update CI workflow to include macOS support

Add conditional environment variable for macOS builds.

* Update CI workflow OS selection conditions

Refactor CI workflow to simplify OS selection logic.

* Add prepare job to set OS list for CI workflow

* Add debug step in CI workflow
