Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): remove all cron schedules from GitHub Actions
 workflows

Obliterates every schedule/cron trigger from all workflow files and
their template copies. No cron jobs will ever run in this repo again.
Use `squad watch` for local polling or event-driven triggers only.

Closes #694
