[plan] Add path-filtered pull_request trigger example to create-agentic-workflow.md #29048

Description

@github-actions

Objective

Add a path-filtered pull_request trigger example to .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md for Backend/QA scenarios that need to react to changes in specific file paths.

Context

From agent persona exploration discussion #29038, S1 (Backend Engineer: DB Schema Review) scored 4.4/5. The pull_request trigger with paths filtering is supported but not exemplified. Backend engineers routinely need to trigger workflows only when specific files change (e.g., db/migrations/*.sql, src/api/**).

Approach

  1. In .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, find the pull_request trigger documentation
  2. Add a frontmatter snippet showing path filtering:
    • on.pull_request.paths with realistic patterns like 'db/migrations/*.sql' or 'schema/**'
  3. Optionally add a paths-ignore example to show both patterns
  4. Include a brief explanation of when to use path filters vs. no filters

Acceptance Criteria

  • At least one path-filtered pull_request example is added
  • Example uses a realistic file path pattern (e.g., migrations, API files)
  • Documentation is placed near the existing pull_request trigger guidance
