Subject: [PATCH] ci: gate self-hosted-only workflows behind manual trigger
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The elizaOS org has zero self-hosted runners registered
(`gh api repos/elizaOS/llama.cpp/actions/runners` → total_count: 0),
so any job pinned to self-hosted labels stays queued forever and
fails to deliver a CI signal.

Two workflows still relied on self-hosted runners on every push/PR:

- `CI (self-hosted)` (build-self-hosted.yml) — 10 jobs across
  [self-hosted, Linux, NVIDIA / COOPMAT2], [self-hosted, macOS, ARM64],
  [self-hosted, Linux, Intel], [self-hosted, Windows, X64, Intel],
  [self-hosted, Linux, Intel, OpenVINO]. Restrict the whole workflow
  to `workflow_dispatch` only. Re-enable push/PR once a fleet
  exists.
- `CI (openvino)` (build-openvino.yml) — the GPU matrix variant
  targets [self-hosted, Linux, Intel, OpenVINO]. Gate that variant
  behind a new `force_self_hosted` workflow_dispatch input; the CPU
  variant on ubuntu-24.04 still runs on every push/PR.

Same approach as PR #18 used for cuda-runtime-validation.
