Include Cargo manifests in cross-target change detection
For pull-request runs, this allowlist omits both the root and crate-level Cargo.toml files. A manifest-only change such as altering feature forwarding, default-features, or an existing dependency's features often leaves Cargo.lock unchanged and need not contain any expression in platform_re; because there are also no changed .rs files, cross_target becomes false and the Android/WASI/iOS/FreeBSD/MinGW matrix is skipped. Include Cargo.toml/**/Cargo.toml among the unconditional cross-target inputs so target-breaking Cargo configuration is checked before merge.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Trigger the workflow when adding the force label
On pull requests, adding the advertised run:cross-check label does not start this workflow because the pull_request.types list at the top includes unlabeled but not labeled. Existing runs retain the label state from their triggering event, while removing the label starts a run where this expression is false, so the escape hatch only takes effect after an unrelated synchronize/reopen event. Add the labeled activity type so applying the label actually forces the matrix.

Include all Cargo manifests in cross-target detection.
A target-specific dependency or feature can change in Cargo.toml without changing Cargo.lock. If the changed line does not contain the target table header, this detector reports changed=false and skips the cross-target matrix.

Detect nested and attributed platform configuration.
The regular expression only detects direct forms such as cfg(windows). It misses common forms such as cfg(any(windows, unix)), cfg(all(unix, feature = "...")), and cfg_attr(windows, ...). The full-file scan uses the same expression, so a generic .rs file with these forms can incorrectly produce changed=false.
Extend the detector for nested cfg predicates and cfg_attr. Add fixtures for these forms.
