refactor: improve CI workflows with test dependencies and path filters

- Add path filters to test.yml to only run on code changes
- Make deploy workflows depend on tests passing first
- Standardize all workflows to use actions/checkout@v4
- Add health checks and better error messages to deployments
- Add build cache support for faster builds
- Document all improvements in IMPROVEMENTS.md

This prevents broken code from being deployed and reduces unnecessary CI runs.
