Part of #82930.

What?

Removes GitHub Actions workflows from wp/6.3 that can no longer run successfully, that only ever make sense running from trunk, that enforce a contributor convention with no meaning on a frozen branch, or that are only maintained for the current WordPress release.

Workflow / job Purpose Reason removed
rnmobile-ios-runner.yml React Native iOS E2E tests Runs on macos-12, retired by GitHub in December 2024; React Native mobile support is no longer maintained or shipped by Gutenberg
rnmobile-android-runner.yml React Native Android E2E tests Runs on macos-12, retired by GitHub in December 2024; React Native mobile support is no longer maintained or shipped by Gutenberg
gradle-wrapper-validation.yml Validates the Gradle wrapper used by the Android RN build Nothing left to validate once rnmobile-android-runner.yml is removed
storybook-pages.yml Deploys Storybook to GitHub Pages Only triggers on push to trunk; this branch never pushes there
upload-release-to-plugin-repo.yml Uploads the built plugin to the WordPress.org plugin repo Only triggers on a release event published from the main plugin release process, which this branch doesn't participate in
stale-issue-gardening.yml Marks stale issues Schedule-only trigger; scheduled workflows always run using the default branch's copy of the file, never this branch's
check-components-changelog.yml Fails any PR touching packages/components unless it also adds a ## Unreleased entry to packages/components/CHANGELOG.md linking back to the PR The ## Unreleased section stages changes for the next @wordpress/components npm release, but packages are never published from this branch (publish-npm-packages.yml is workflow_dispatch-only and hard-codes ref: trunk), so an entry added here would never reach a published changelog. The check is explicitly optional/advisory guidance for ongoing trunk development, not for a frozen branch that only takes targeted backports
performance.yml Performance tests Performance testing is only maintained on the branch for the current WordPress release
pull-request-automation.yml Assigns fixed issues and labels first-time contributors on new pull requests pull_request_target runs always use trunk's copy of the file, and its push-triggered tasks return immediately outside trunk, so this branch's copy never does anything
build-plugin-zip.yml Builds the plugin zip, and holds the plugin release jobs (version bump, GitHub release, npm latest publish) Nothing uses the zip it builds: WordPress 6.3 takes Gutenberg as npm packages. The release jobs only run when started from trunk or a release/* branch, so they never run from wp/X.Y

publish-npm-packages.yml is kept: it is manually dispatched only, and both of its checkout steps hard-code ref: trunk, so it can never publish from this branch.

Why?

These workflows are either structurally incapable of running on a frozen release branch (trunk-only push/release/schedule triggers, or hard-coded ref: trunk checkouts), depend on a GitHub-hosted runner image (macos-12) that no longer exists, test React Native mobile code that Gutenberg no longer maintains or ships, enforce a changelog convention whose only destination is an npm release that never happens from this branch, or are only maintained for the current WordPress release (performance testing). Keeping them around adds maintenance noise and workflow content that references tooling for a platform this project no longer supports.
