Subject: [PATCH v2] Skip table specific handling for sequences only
 publications

Skip trying to get the list of tables, publish_via_partition_root
handling, and invalidation where the publication does not publish
tables. This avoids unnecessary work and ensures table specific
logic is applied only to relevant publications.
