📊 Key Changes
- **Workflow Refactoring**: The single `publish.yml` workflow is now split into **modular jobs** (`check`, `build`, `publish`, `notify`) for better clarity and maintainability.
- **Version Check Automation**: A new `check` job verifies package version increments and ensures readiness for publishing.
- **Build Streamlining**: Added a dedicated `build` job for artifact creation to simplify the build process.
- **Efficient Dependency Installation**: The `--no-cache` flag was added to the dependency installation step, optimizing performance and disk usage during CI.
- **Improved Secret Management**: Replaced `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` with a custom secret (`secrets._GITHUB_TOKEN`) for **enhanced security controls**.
- **Slack Notifications**: Upgraded success and failure notifications for better workflow feedback in Slack channels.
- **Version Update**: Incremented package version from `0.0.23` to `0.0.24`.
