Clean up CI workflows and remove Claude bot

[Alex-Wengg]

Summary

• Rename Kokoro TTS workflow and improve its smoke test coverage (from prior commit)
• Remove dead framework validation workflows (from prior commit)
• Remove all Claude GitHub Actions workflows (review bot, interactive mentions, dispatch)

Test plan

• Verify remaining CI workflows still trigger correctly on PRs
• Confirm no references to removed workflows elsewhere in the repo

Processing time includes: Model inference on Apple Neural Engine, audio preprocessing, state resets between files, token-to-text conversion, and file I/O
Example: RTFx of 2.0x means 10 seconds of audio processed in 5 seconds (2x faster than real-time)}

Expected RTFx Performance on Physical M1 Hardware:

• M1 Mac: ~28x (clean), ~25x (other)
• CI shows ~0.5-3x due to virtualization limitations
