Allow to manually trigger the ci build steps

[philippotto]

Sometimes the CI doesn't run (e.g., because a squashed commit msg accidentally contained "[skip ci]). This change makes it easier to explicitly trigger the CI.

The GitHub Actions workflow configuration was updated to include the workflow_dispatch trigger, allowing the CI pipeline to be started manually from the GitHub interface or API. No other workflow logic or settings were changed.

Poem

A bunny hopped into the code one day,
And added a button to run things your way!
Now with a click, the workflow will go,
No need to push, just let the carrots flow.

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Explain this complex logic.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:

  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our support page for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

12-12: Enable manual CI build trigger
The addition of workflow_dispatch: {} is correct and allows users to manually start the pipeline from the GitHub UI or API, bypassing any [skip ci] flags in commit messages.
