ci: move required builds to Linux and preserve runtime hybrid - #331

Objective

Make ordinary OTClient CI Linux-only on GitHub-hosted runners, including a bounded headless startup smoke of the built Linux client, while preserving Synology/self-hosted capacity for specialized real runtime/LAN/display/input/persistent-session work.

Changes

• replace the required Windows build gate with the existing reusable-build-linux.yml matrix;
• remove reusable-build-windows.yml;
• add a required GitHub-hosted Client Startup Smoke - Linux job after the Linux build;
• download the real linux-linux-release artifact, verify shared-library resolution, and start otclient under Xvfb with software GL, null OpenAL output, and an isolated --user-dir;
• require the client to remain alive for a bounded 20-second startup window and upload dependency/startup logs as evidence;
• carry forward safe path-scope optimization so docs/task-only PRs do not allocate unrelated Fast Checks/Lua/build/smoke runners;
• make pull_request.closed create a no-work run in the same CI concurrency group, so a closed/superseded PR cancels any older in-progress build instead of leaving orphaned runner demand;
• stop automatically retrying intentionally cancelled superseded CI runs;
• leave dedicated Synology/runtime workflow files untouched.

Runner boundary

GitHub-hosted: static/workflow/Lua validation, unit/integration tests, Linux build, artifact dependency validation, bounded headless startup smoke.

Synology/self-hosted: persistent OTClient session, real display/input ownership, login/walking/clicking, LAN/runtime integration, long-lived observation and direct physical gameplay evidence.

The GitHub headless smoke must not be treated as a replacement for Synology physical runtime E2E.

Coordination

• supersedes closed PR ci: reduce hosted-runner queue amplification #328, which retained the Windows gate;
• live validation found PR ci: reduce hosted-runner queue amplification #328's already-started Windows CI still consuming hosted runners after closure; this PR adds the prospective closed-PR cancellation invariant;
• PR ci: add dedicated OTClient and OTS runner stack #280 remains a separate specialized Synology/runtime lane and is intentionally not modified here;
• historical client-test-foundation PR test: establish client unit and integration test foundation #3 is merged, but its stale active task still lists reusable-build-linux.yml as owned, so this PR deliberately adds the smoke in ci.yml without modifying that reusable workflow.

Validation contract

• workflow syntax/actionlint must pass;
• both Linux build matrix jobs must pass on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu;
• the exact-head startup-smoke job must execute the real release artifact and survive the bounded virtual-display startup window;
• CI / Required must require both build and startup smoke when compile scope is true;
• no Windows build job may be emitted;
• closed-PR events must skip ordinary jobs while sharing the PR concurrency key;
• Synology runtime workflows remain outside this changed-file set.

The pinned vcpkg baseline's x64-linux triplet links vcpkg libraries statically, so the downloaded release artifact does not require a second vcpkg installation on the smoke runner; only system X/GL/OpenAL runtime packages are installed there.
