 # Fast, SDK-free parity check for translation resources, so Weblate PRs (which
 # only touch values-*/strings.xml) get quick feedback without the full Android
 # build. The deeper checks still run in CI via lintDebug (ExtraTranslation).
+#
+# Runs on every PR (no path filter) so the required "Translations / check"
+# status is always reported — like the `ci` job. A path-filtered workflow is
+# skipped on unrelated PRs and never posts its status, which leaves that
+# required check pending forever and blocks the merge of any code-only PR into a
+# release/* branch. The check itself is cheap and simply passes when the
+# committed translations are consistent, so always running it costs nothing.
