Add branch protection rules and update GitHub workflow configurations (#52)

## Summary
This PR introduces branch protection rules for main and release branches
while updating GitHub workflow configurations to improve repository
governance and CI/CD processes.

## Key Accomplishments

### Branch Protection Rules
- **Main Branch Protection**: Added comprehensive protection rules
including required status checks, pull request reviews, and merge
restrictions
- **Release Branch Protection**: Implemented specialized protection
rules for release branches to ensure stable release processes

### Workflow Configuration Updates
- Updated Claude workflow with additional configuration
- Refined create-pr workflow settings for better integration
- Enhanced tag-release workflow with improved triggering and execution
logic
- Modified test workflow configuration for optimized performance

## Infrastructure Considerations
- Branch protection rules will be enforced automatically once merged,
affecting how code is merged into protected branches
- Workflow changes may impact existing CI/CD pipelines and automation
processes
- Teams should be aware of new merge requirements and approval processes

## Breaking Changes
- **Merge Process**: Direct pushes to main and release branches will be
restricted
- **Review Requirements**: Pull requests may now require specific
approvals before merging
- **Status Checks**: Certain workflows must pass before merging is
allowed

## Testing Notes
- Workflow configurations have been updated to align with new branch
protection policies
- Existing automation should continue to function with the updated
workflow triggers
- Monitor initial merges to ensure protection rules work as expected

This change strengthens the repository's development workflow while
maintaining compatibility with existing processes.
