Stale branch causes pipeline failures not related to your change
The Issue
Your PR adds a login feature. CI fails a payment test. Your code did not touch payments.
Root Cause
Your branch is behind main. Someone else's merged change broke the payment tests. Now your CI picks up their broken code too.
How to Fix
Rebase or merge main into your branch before pushingEnable branch protection: require branches to be up to date before mergingSet up CI to always run against the merge result, not just your branch tipCommunicate with the team about failing tests on main — fix main first
