GitHub Actions does not expose the matrix context to jobs.<job_id>.if, only to steps.<step_id>.if. Referencing matrix.kind there fails workflow parsing entirely (0 jobs run), breaking CI on every push and PR.

Summary
cijob's job-levelif:referenced thematrixcontext (matrix.kind != 'rust' ...), which GitHub Actions does not expose tojobs.<job_id>.if(onlysteps.<step_id>.if). This fails workflow parsing entirely — the run shows 0 jobs — breakingci.ymlon every push and PR against currentmain.mainruns and nearly every open PR'sci.ymlrun failing identically withUnrecognized named-value: 'matrix'.if:block. All rust-vs-non-rust step gating already exists at the step level (matrix.kind == 'rust', etc.), so removing this restores a parseable, working workflow. This trades away the job-level early-skip optimization for rust-unrelated PRs (rust toolchain/deps steps now run and immediately no-op) in exchange for CI actually running at all.Test plan
