Walkthrough

Workflow-level BUILD_TYPE added and set to Release for tag refs, Debug otherwise. Linux and Windows build scripts updated to read BUILD_TYPE (defaulting to Debug) and pass it into CMake as -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI/CD Workflow Configuration \.github/workflows/ccpp.yml	Added top-level env: BUILD_TYPE computed from github.ref (Release for tag refs, Debug otherwise).
Build Scripts scripts/build_linux.sh, scripts/build_windows.bat	Changed CMake invocation to use BUILD_TYPE (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${BUILD_TYPE} / %BUILD_TYPE%) and added fallback to Debug when unset.
