Pull request overview
This PR optimizes the CI/CD workflow by preventing markdown file changes from triggering the Python test suite. This addresses an inefficiency where documentation-only changes (like README updates) unnecessarily ran the full Python test workflow, delaying merge approvals.

After reviewing a PR that only changed our README files (#11544), I had to wait for our Python unit test workflow to finish before I could merge the work. To avoid this in the future, I've updated the workflow so that
