CI: don't skip required code-style checks on docs-only PRs#63

## Problem Docs-only PRs (e.g. the CODEOWNERS PR openvdb#62) are stuck **BLOCKED**. The `main` ruleset marks the code-style checks (black, include guards, SPDX, whitespace) as **required**, but `codestyle.yml` used workflow-level `paths-ignore` for `**.md`/`CODEOWNERS`. A workflow skipped via `paths-ignore` never reports its checks, so the required checks sit at "Expected" forever and block the merge. ## Fix Remove `paths-ignore` from `codestyle.yml`. The lint jobs are cheap (ubuntu-latest) and now always run and report, satisfying the required checks on every PR including docs-only ones. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Harris <mharris@nvidia.com>
