The branch protection rule "Changes must be made through a pull request" is incorrectly being applied to PR feature branches (e.g., HDC-1960). This rule should only protect the main branches (main and release), not feature branches used for pull requests.
- Pushing to feature branches like
HDC-1960triggers "Bypassed rule violations" warning - The push succeeds because of admin override permissions, but this indicates misconfiguration
- Feature branches should allow direct pushes as part of the normal PR workflow
