📄 Description

Summary

This adds GitHub Actions automation for OpenPuck firmware builds and per-main-commit release artifacts.

adds an Arduino firmware build workflow for the nRF52840 target
installs the Adafruit nRF52 core and adafruit-nrfutil in CI
generates OpenPuck/git_version.h before compiling so build provenance is embedded
writes Arduino outputs to deterministic build/openpuck paths instead of relying on runner/core temp paths
uploads standard build artifacts from CI (.hex, .elf, .map, .zip, plus .uf2/.bin if the core emits them)
adds a release workflow that builds both the normal firmware and OPK_FACTORY_RESET=1 recovery firmware
publishes prerelease assets on pushes to main using a build- tag
limits Format, Build, and Release workflows to push events on main, so development branches do not publish artifacts
ignores local build/ and release_assets/ output directories

Validation

Tested on the fork before opening this PR:

Format workflow completed successfully
Build workflow completed successfully
Release workflow completed successfully
Release assets were published for both standard and factory-reset builds: .elf, .hex, .map, and .zip
After restricting triggers to main, pushing to a development branch no longer started workflows

Notes

The release workflow intentionally creates prereleases for build- tags. That keeps automatic per-commit firmware builds available without replacing any manually curated stable release as Latest.
