Context

As a part of &17598, the Settings > Repository > Protected branches is being removed as duplicate functionality of Branch rules.

A CI/CD warning banner was introduced to the Protected branches section in #417284 (comment 1485088777). This banner may have been created without UX oversight.

Design questions

• Does this information need to exist on Branch rules?
  • How should it best be displayed?
• What should the visual hierarchy of the alert be?
  • The alert is currently a warning banner, but does the information warrant that level of urgency from users?
• Should the alert show up in all scenarios?
  • If a user has their settings configured so that nobody can push to any branches, the alert information may not be relevant.
• Should the alert be dismissible?
