Triggering CI tests on a PR

Most CI runs automatically on PR commits, gated by path filters. A few things run only on demand; opt in by adding a label to the PR (collaborator access required):

• ci-enduser — end-user sample screenshot + packaging suite (never auto-runs)
• ci-editor — GameStudio editor screenshot suite (never auto-runs)
• ci-ios — iOS game suite, when its narrow path filter didn't already trigger it
• ci-android — Android game suite, when its narrow path filter didn't already trigger it
• ci-run-on-draft — run the normal path-gated CI on a draft PR (which otherwise skips CI)

Labels run through the PR's own workflow (pr-label-suites.yml / main.yml), so they use the PR head's YAML and re-run on every push while applied. Removing a label re-runs with that suite skipped.
