Research direction
Start with the matrix-project-plugin behavior around the “Trigger parameterized build on other projects” option and reproduce the report using a matrix job with multiple children. Verify whether downstream work is attempted per child or only after the parent completes; done means the trigger runs at the intended parent-level condition without duplicate starts.
