Automatic Analysis provides code quality feedback without coverage requirements.
Keep manual workflow_dispatch trigger for testing if needed.

+# DISABLED: Using SonarCloud Automatic Analysis instead of CI-based analysis.
+# Custom Quality Gates require a paid plan, which isn't suitable for FOSS projects.
+# The free Automatic Analysis provides code quality feedback without coverage requirements.
+#
+# To re-enable CI-based analysis:
+# 1. Uncomment the triggers below
+# 2. Disable Automatic Analysis on SonarCloud.io
+# 3. Consider upgrading to a paid plan for custom Quality Gate settings
