📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Removes the standalone GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/check-licenses.yml that ran yarn check-licenses. Adds a new job license-check to .github/workflows/ci.yml with the same steps: checkout, base setup via jupyterlab/maintainer-tools action, and yarn check-licenses. The license check is now integrated into the main CI workflow instead of a separate workflow.
