strict=True,

The use of the strict mode in branch protections requires any branch to be up to date against the main branch to be merged. This causes all the CI checks to run all over again and causes a lot of time to be wasted waiting for checks to pass. Ideally branches should be up-to-date but not we should not be enforcing them to be up-to-date. Conflicts will still be reported and CI will run again once the conflicts are resolved.

Implementation

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.
