refactor: Update CI workflow to support runpod>= versioning

Changes:
- Update grep pattern from runpod~= to runpod>=
- Replace major.minor range logic with semantic version comparison
- Add validation for current_version extraction
- Update sed replacement to maintain >= operator
- Workflow now triggers on any version increase (patch, minor, major)

Previously, the workflow only updated for major.minor changes due to ~=
(compatible release) constraint. Now with >=, all new releases are honored.
