XS⚠️ ◾ Refining Pipelines

[Muiris Woulfe (muiriswoulfe)]

This change refactors the package.json build and test scripts to improve efficiency and flexibility. The main change is separating npm ci (dependency installation) from the main build, package, and test scripts by introducing new :no-install variants. This allows for faster repeated builds and tests when dependencies haven’t changed, and provides clearer control over when dependencies are installed.

Build and Test Script Refactoring:

• Added :no-install variants for build, package, and test scripts to separate dependency installation from the main logic, improving efficiency for repeated runs.
• Updated main scripts (build, build:debug, build:release, build:package, test) to call npm ci explicitly and delegate to their respective :no-install variants.

Other Improvements:

• Cleaned up initialization scripts by removing redundant npm ci calls where not needed, ensuring dependencies are installed only once at the top level.
