P1 Badge Keep required checks present for filtered pull requests

When a matrix job from this workflow is configured as a required branch-protection check, a pull request that changes only an excluded path (such as docs/**) skips the entire workflow, so GitHub leaves the expected check pending and the pull request cannot be merged. Keep the pull_request trigger unconditional and perform path detection within the workflow, with an always-reported gate job, so documentation-only changes can satisfy required checks without running the build matrix.
