Is there any possibility for custom merge checks in Bitbucket Cloud? Currently, merge checks seem very half-baked; we only have a limited number of options, all of them features (approvals, tasks, builds) predefined by Atlassian.
For example, I would like to ensure that all of the commits in a feature branch exist in other branches (e.g. development and QA) before a PR from the feature branch can be merged into a release branch.
I suppose I might be able to achieve this with a pipeline, but then Bitbucket treats the pipeline run as a "build", which feels very wrong from a cognitive standpoint. "Builds" are things attached to individual commits, which do something with the code, because they are triggered by changes to code.
In this case, however, all I want to do is some Git checks at the time a PR is opened/updated from one branch to another (matching a pattern for the branch name). This feels more like a merge check, because the script is triggered by a non-commit Git action.
This is just one case; I can also imagine wanting, say, to make an HTTP request to another service and wait for the response as part of a merge check.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
