Subject: [PATCH] Enhance GitHub Actions workflow with conditional execution

- Added conditional checks to ensure build steps only run when necessary.
- Streamlined the installation and build processes for NodeJS and Python based on the new build input logic.
- Improved clarity and efficiency in the workflow by consolidating conditions for Linux-specific tasks.
