Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/collaborating-on-repositories-with-code-quality-features/troubleshooting-required-status-checks#handling-skipped-but-required-checks

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The warnings about skipped checks don't explain that jobs skipped because dependent jobs in their 'needs' clause won't cause required checks to fail.

This is important because user may believe their branches are protected when they are not.
