[WIP] ci: skip tests on documentation-only PRs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Copilot's WIP docs-only test PR for the CI path filter in #1647 was closed after ~79 days with 0 files changed, 0 comments and failing checks. Parent #1647 is still open with unresolved review comments.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: PR #1648 was a throwaway test-only PR opened at a Copilot reviewer's request to verify the dorny/paths-filter docs-only filtering from #1647; it never received a file change, a comment, or a review, and was closed after ~79 days of inactivity. Its purpose was never completed and the parent PR #1647 remains open with 10 unresolved review comments, so no fix superseded it.

Parent PR that introduced the 'filter' job and gated the test matrix; #1648 was created solely to test its behaviour and remains open.

Validation of the paths-filter only makes sense once #1647 lands; it is still open with unresolved review comments, leaving the filter unmerged.
