ci: does a skipped job report a commit status? ... beed64aefd

open-standards gates expensive path-filtered workflows behind a `relevant`
job, so dependent jobs skip when a change does not touch that standard. If a
skipped job reports no status, those contexts stay pending forever and a
branch rule requiring them can never be satisfied.

Four jobs, paired. gate-false -> dep-of-false should skip; gate-true ->
dep-of-true should run. The second pair is the control: if needs-outputs were
simply broken here and always read empty, every dependent would skip and the
result would look the same. dep-of-true running is what makes the skip mean
"the output said false". dep-literal isolates a self-skip with no needs edge,
and dep-matrix mirrors wai-pack's three-leg matrix to show whether each leg
reports its own context.
