    If you can get the permissions to do it set the protected branch and prevent merge on build failures. This is a repo setting that will work with any ci provider assuming it updates the PR status.

      I thought about it but people are so sensitive here. If they broke something and couldn’t merge they’d probably raise a big stink, and then there’s good odds the checks would be removed “because they’re adding friction” or some nonsense. My boss has already warned me about staying in my lane.

      These people have never done any automated testing of any sort. No linter. No unit tests. And they don’t seem to want to.
