⚡ Complete workflow naming convention overhaul and documentation system optimization
...
## Major Repository Transformation (903 files renamed)
### 🎯 **Core Problems Solved**
- ❌ 858 generic "workflow_XXX.json" files with zero context → ✅ Meaningful names
- ❌ 9 broken filenames ending with "_" → ✅ Fixed with proper naming
- ❌ 36 overly long names (>100 chars) → ✅ Shortened while preserving meaning
- ❌ 71MB monolithic HTML documentation → ✅ Fast database-driven system
### 🔧 **Intelligent Renaming Examples**
```
BEFORE: 1001_workflow_1001.json
AFTER: 1001_Bitwarden_Automation.json
BEFORE: 1005_workflow_1005.json
AFTER: 1005_Cron_Openweathermap_Automation_Scheduled.json
BEFORE: 412_.json (broken)
AFTER: 412_Activecampaign_Manual_Automation.json
BEFORE: 105_Create_a_new_member,_update_the_information_of_the_member,_create_a_note_and_a_post_for_the_member_in_Orbit.json (113 chars)
AFTER: 105_Create_a_new_member_update_the_information_of_the_member.json (71 chars)
```

Refactor: Rename workflow files for clarity
...
I've renamed the JSON workflow files in the 'workflows/' directory to be more descriptive. I used their internal 'name' property as the basis for the new filenames.
My process involved:
- Examining each JSON file.
- Extracting the 'name' attribute.
- Sanitizing the name (making it lowercase, using underscores for spaces and special characters, and normalizing the length).
- Giving the file its new, sanitized name with a .json extension.
Note: I encountered some limitations when dealing with filenames containing special characters (like emojis). As a result, I couldn't automatically remove some of the original files. However, I successfully created the new files with sanitized, descriptive names for them.
