Feature branches rarely need their own CI runs: the code is already tested when a pull request is opened against a release branch. If the push trigger has no branch restriction and pull_request is also configured, every push to a branch with an open PR runs the workflow twice: once for the push and once for the PR synchronisation.

Always give the push trigger an explicit list of branches: this stops branches created from a release branch from inheriting its workflow runs.
