fix(ci): disarm the Inbox Steward notification amplifier
check_suite:[completed] and workflow_run:[completed] made this workflow fire once per CI completion on every watched workflow -- a multiplier on every unit of estate CI activity, and the mechanism behind the notification burst of 2026-07-20/21 (measured: 3,041 CheckSuite notifications inside a ~19-hour window, and none since). The workflow is currently disabled_manually, which is why the burst stopped. That makes the risk latent rather than resolved: these triggers plus contents:write / pull-requests:write mean re-enabling it would restart the multiplier. Removing them so re-enabling is safe. pull_request, pull_request_review and workflow_dispatch are retained -- the monitoring path the workflow was neutered down to in 2026-06 is untouched. Verified: YAML parses and the trigger map is now exactly pull_request, pull_request_review, workflow_dispatch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
