| Pitfall | Consequence | Solution | |---------|-------------|----------| | Using the same repository secrets for beta and prod | Beta code can alter production resources | Use separate environments and different Azure/AWS credentials | | Disabling code scanning on beta branches to “save time” | Vulnerabilities migrate to stable | Run reduced-but-essential scanning (e.g., only high-severity rules) | | Allowing squash merges from beta to main without replay of safety checks | Bypasses status checks | Require all commits to pass checks, even for squash+merge | : The extension is generally considered functional and
