ci: consolidate cicd workflow lanes, clean up helpers, and align CI docs (#86)
## Summary
This PR simplifies the CICD workflow by merging related lanes, reducing duplicated script logic, and keeping the same overall pipeline behavior and gates. It also updates CI documentation to match the new job topology.

## What Changed

### Workflow consolidation
- Merged base and complete CICD image publication into one producer job:
  - Build and Push CICD Images
- Merged dependency audits into one informational lane:
  - Dependency Audits (Informational)
- Merged runtime image build lanes into one release producer:
  - Build Release Images
- Merged tester image build lanes into one tester producer:
  - Build Tester Images

### Dependency/gate rewiring
- Updated downstream needs to consume merged producers.
- Kept output contracts for deployable and tester image references.
- Updated production and postmortem gates to the new job IDs.

### Cleanup/simplification
- Removed duplicate helper-function definition(s) in CICD scripts.
- Replaced a manual docker login retry loop with existing retry helper usage.
- Removed redundant shell option declarations where behavior was unchanged.
- Removed one unused E2E environment variable.

### Documentation alignment
- Updated CI architecture documentation to reflect merged workflow lanes.
- Updated troubleshooting guidance to reference current job sequencing.

## Why
- Reduce job startup overhead on self-hosted runners.
- Keep behavior consistent while lowering workflow complexity.
- Improve maintainability by removing duplicated/unused script fragments.
- Keep docs in sync with operational workflow reality.

## Validation
- Workflow file checks passed with pre-commit.
- Documentation checks passed with pre-commit (including markdownlint/prettier).
- No diagnostics/errors reported for updated workflow/docs files.

## Risk and Impact
- Low-to-medium operational risk due to job-ID/needs rewiring.
- Mitigated by preserving output keys consumed by integration and e2e lanes.
- Audit lane remains informational-only (non-blocking), same intent as before.
