Code Review

The pull request introduces configuration for a new 2.58.x branch, enabling release-please and setting up branch protection rules. The changes are mostly straightforward, but there is a potential issue with the branch protection settings that could impact code quality and stability.

[gemini-code-assist]

Setting requiresStrictStatusChecks to false can allow pull requests to be merged even if they are out of date with the base branch and would fail status checks. This can lead to a broken branch and makes it harder to maintain a stable codebase. It is generally recommended to set this to true to ensure that all required status checks pass on the latest code before merging.

    requiresStrictStatusChecks: true
