Ruleset 9440896 requires EP Fork Integrity and All Tests. Both come from the Tests workflow, which is path-filtered to platform/wab/**, packages/**, plasmicpkgs/** and a couple of .github paths.
A PR touching only .github/scripts/**, deploy config or docs matches none of them, so Tests never runs, the required contexts never report, and the PR is stuck at BLOCKED with no state it can reach on its own.
Hit during the 2026-08-11 outage: #411 was a one-line deploy-script fix that had to be force-merged while integration was down. The cost is the incentive — the only workarounds are an admin bypass or a manual dispatch.
Fix: give the required contexts a lightweight always-runs job that reports success when the heavy paths are untouched. Better than widening the paths, which spends the full suite on a shell-script edit.
