ci: use step-level conditionals so matrix check names are always reported#753
Conversation
…rted When a job is skipped via job-level `if:`, GitHub reports a single 'skipping' entry without matrix suffixes. This means required checks like 'Release Validation / install-and-smoke (3.12)' are never reported, blocking merge. Fix: remove job-level `if:` and instead gate each step. The jobs always run (reporting their full matrix names), but exit immediately when only docs/website files changed.

Follow-up to #752. When a job is skipped via job-level
if:, GitHub reports a single 'skipping' entry without matrix suffixes. This means required checks likeRelease Validation / install-and-smoke (3.12)are never reported, blocking merge.Fix: Remove job-level
if:and instead gate each step withif: needs.check-paths.outputs.should_run == 'true'. The jobs always run (reporting their full matrix names as passing), but exit immediately when only docs/website files changed.This unblocks PRs #738, #740, #730, #737.
