Generate a complete GitHub Actions workflow with:

• Main workflow file (.github/workflows/ci-cd.yml)
• All necessary jobs: lint, test, build, deploy
• Matrix builds if required
• Proper caching configuration
• Secret management
• Conditional execution
• Environment deployments with protection rules
• Artifact upload/download
• Docker build and push (if required)
• Reusable workflow files (if requested)
• Status checks and notifications
• Comprehensive comments explaining each section
