dev is where work lands and is meant to be pushed to often, so what runs
there should be the cheap answer to "did I break it": lint, tests and the
Linux build. The macOS and Windows jobs now run on qa and main instead of
on every push to dev.
Nothing is deleted and no platform goes unchecked before a release. qa.yml
already covers macOS and Windows independently, and the jobs that live only
here -- the Intel macOS build, the Windows release build -- still run, on
the branches where a cross-platform break is worth blocking on.
They are SKIPPED on dev via `if`, not left unscheduled. A queued job would
be worse than a slow one: release.sh's CI gate refuses while any run for
the commit is still in progress, so a job that never gets a runner blocks
releases silently, with no error anywhere. That is the failure the
real-media note in qa.yml describes, and it is why this is an `if` on the
job rather than a narrower set of trigger branches.
