Summary

• keep Theme Momentum Snapshot artifact output successful when branch protection rejects direct push to main
• continue failing on non-ruleset push errors
• add a workflow regression check for the protected-branch path

Root Cause

The latest scheduled run failed at Commit snapshot because GitHub repository rules rejected a direct push to protected main with GH013 required status checks.
