Railway triggers deploy on commits outside watch path in mono repo setup

Hey folks I have a mono repo with the following setup: apps folder in the root directory with two separate folders, one for the iOS code and another for the python code (see below)

project/

|─ apps/

|── python/

|── iOS/

I only have the python directory, FastAPI app, deployed as a service on Railway and have setup the watch path as /apps/python. My friend works on the /apps/iOS directory and isn't part of the railway project but when they push to main Railway keeps asking if I want to deploy their commit, "Deploy this commit from an external contributor?", even though the only changes were to the /apps/iOS directory.

I was under the impression that the watch path wouldn't even look at changes made in other directories.

That's a fair assumption, I presume you have watch paths enabled?

I believe the "needs approval" stuff trumps the watch path ATM

However, that's probably not correct so I will check and escalate

Are watch paths defined relative to the root directory that's set or relative to the overall repo?

For instance I currently have the root directory set as: "apps/python"

So should the watch path also be "apps/python" or will watch paths be defined to start per the root directory setting of "apps/python"? If yes, I suppose adding "apps/python" to watch paths would result in it looking "apps/python/apps/python"

Relative it should be.
