Recommend a two-ruleset pattern for users who use GitHub Rulesets. This prevents approvals from going 'Expected' and blocking merges when advances.

🔒 Permission Protocol — Review Required

What this PR does

  • Understand how to configure GitHub settings to prevent unnecessary merge blocks.
  • Learn the recommended two-step setup for managing automated checks and human approvals.
  • Identify the specific configuration setting that stops approvals from being wiped out when the main branch updates.

⚠️ Risk

🟢 Low — GitHub repository branch protection configuration

  • Misconfiguration of rulesets could lead to bypassed status checks if not followed correctly.
  • Incorrectly disabling strict mode on build checks might allow merging code that is incompatible with the latest main branch.
