Overview:

The branch protection rules mandate that release branches can only be pushed to when CI succeeded, including when creating the first commit.

We need to update the automated process to test the initial commit before merging it in the release branch.

We also need to test the patch-release case.

• the CI will fail unless the release is declared in Konflux. How to cut Collector release prior to stackrox/stackrox ?
