Use dorny/paths-filter at job level instead of paths-ignore at workflow level. When paths-ignore skips a workflow entirely, GitHub never reports a status, so required checks like "build" stay stuck at "Waiting" forever. With job-level filtering, the workflow always runs and reports a skipped status, which satisfies branch protection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
