Remove the GitHub Actions workflow

Montelot asked to remove GitHub Actions. .github/workflows/check.yml ran the desks and eval checks on every push to master and every pull request; nothing replaces it. development.md now says there is no CI and points at tools/check and nix flake check, which runs both groups in the Nix sandbox. Question 30 in the review answers notes the change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01U4FzmSox5tf6jG3fwLz7Ep

164164`tools/check` runs every check the repo has. Their one list is `CHECKS` in the script, so a new check goes there, as well as in the table above; `tools/check --list` prints it with each check's command. A new suite in `tests/lib` needs no new check: `arms-1` to `arms-4` run every suite's arms, in shards of about equal time, and a slow suite's cost belongs in `COSTS` in `tools/test-arms`, which balances them. The eval group, the 7 checks that need only `urbit` and Python, runs several at a time (`-j`, by default one per CPU), the slowest first. The ship group, `ship-selftest`, `ship-test`, `check-commit` and `clay-fixtures`, then runs one check at a time on the ship `tools/ship` talks to; `tools/check` starts it if it isn't running and stops it again afterwards. Name checks, or globs, to run only those: `tools/check golden 'arms-*'`. To run one suite under eval, use `tools/test-arms <suite>`, as `tools/test-arms jibb-todo-full`. A failing check's output follows its FAIL line; `-v` prints every check's output, and `--logs DIR` keeps it all.

166−CI, [.github/workflows/check.yml](../.github/workflows/check.yml), builds the desks and runs the eval group through the flake on every push to `master` and every pull request. It doesn't run the ship group, so run that before pushing.

166+There is no CI, so nothing runs these checks for you: run `tools/check` or `nix flake check` before every push. `nix flake check` needs nothing but Nix, since it builds the desks and runs both groups in the Nix sandbox, the ship group (Linux only) on a fake ~zod it boots itself; see the [README](../README.md#building-and-checking-with-nix).

168168`ship-selftest` matters most when `tools/ship` changed, and `check-commit` when the mark or the desks changed, but `tools/check` runs both every time. The self-test leaves fixture files on the `jibb-dev` desk, and `ship-test`, which runs after it, puts the real ones back.
