This pull request refactors the GitHub Actions workflow in .github/workflows/release-and-publish.yml to simplify the build and publish process. It removes unnecessary credential handling, consolidates build steps, and adds helpful comments for clarity. The workflow now directly builds and publishes in each job, making the process more straightforward and maintainable.

Workflow refactoring and simplification:

• Merged the build and release steps into each publish job (publish-github, publish-hangar, publish-modrinth), removing the separate build-and-release job and the need for artifact downloading between jobs. [1] [2]
• Removed explicit setup and use of GitHub Packages credentials (GPR_USER, GPR_API_KEY) from the build and publish steps, simplifying the environment and command usage. [1] [2] [3]
• Consolidated the build process in each job to use ./gradlew build shadowJar --stacktrace before publishing, ensuring a fresh build for each publish target. [1] [2] [3]

Documentation and clarity improvements:

• Added descriptive comments to each workflow step to explain their purpose and improve maintainability for future contributors. [1] [2] [3]

Consistency improvements:

• Standardized step names (e.g., "Validate Gradle Wrapper") and ensured all jobs use the same sequence of setup steps for consistency across publishing targets. [1] [2] [3]
