feat: optimize prod deployment to avoid unnecessary container restarts

Previously: 'docker compose up -d' recreated all services with changed images, causing dependent services (pocketbase, minio, redis, etc.) to restart and wait for healthchecks, leading to longer downtime. Now: Use '--no-deps' flag to restart ONLY the services with updated images (backend, runner, ui, caddy, pocketbase) without touching their dependencies. Benefits: - Faster deployments (~15-20s vs ~60s) - No unnecessary restarts of infrastructure services - Reduced downtime for the application The final 'docker compose up -d --remove-orphans' ensures any orphaned containers are cleaned up and all services are in the desired state.
chore: improve workflow job names for clarity
