## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**
* Restructured CI/CD deployment workflows with enhanced testing phases
(unit tests and end-to-end tests now separated).
  * Improved QA build process and artifact management.
  * Refined post-deployment testing with live integration testing.
  * Streamlined deployment dependencies and workflow orchestration.
