P1 Badge Preserve required CI checks for filtered pull requests

When any matrix check from this workflow is required by branch protection, a documentation-only PR matching none of these paths will never create that check, leaving the PR blocked in Pending rather than merely avoiding the expensive jobs. GitHub explicitly documents this behavior for workflow-level path filtering, so keep the workflow trigger unconditional and perform the path decision inside a lightweight job or expose a separate always-running required check.
