PR stuck waiting for a required check

In a monorepo, the "backend-tests" workflow uses on.pull_request.paths: [backend/**] and is a required status check. A docs-only PR can never be merged: the check stays "Expected - Waiting for status to be reported". Why?

A.Required checks only run on pull requests from the default branch, so this PR is never checked.B.The paths filter syntax is invalid for pull_request events and silently blocks all checks.C.The skipped workflow never reports the check; run it always and skip work inside, or use one aggregate job.D.GitHub requires the workflow file to live inside backend/ when a paths filter points there.
