Subject: [PATCH] Remove invalidations workflow
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The invalidations workflow can be overly strict and block legitimate PRs
that happen to increase invalidation counts, even when the changes are
correct and necessary.

While invalidation tracking can be useful for performance-critical code,
it's better suited as an optional local check rather than a required CI
step that blocks all PRs.

Reasons for removal:
- Blocks valid PRs that unavoidably increase invalidations
- Not all invalidations are problematic
- Can be run locally if needed: `using SnoopCompileCore; invalidations = @snoopr using MyPackage`
- Other performance metrics (benchmarks, profiling) are more actionable
