Consume a protected resourceApprovals and checksResource owner

Branch policies can require: reviewers · linked work items · resolved comments · successful build · external status checks.

Governance checks: Required template on the resource or environment · Branch control across linked-resource branches · Query Azure Monitor alerts when no queried alert rules are active · Evaluate artifact for container image artifacts.

Trap: branch policies govern PR completion; checks govern whether a stage may consume a protected resource. Different boundaries, different owners.
