Release PR not triggered after conventional commit and protection rule fix in googleapis/dotnet-genai

**Summary**

Release-please app is installed and has write access to the repository `googleapis/dotnet-genai`. After merging a conventional `feat:` commit (PR #49: "feat: Enable Google Maps tool for Genai") and subsequently merging a docs commit (PR #55: "docs: update readme to trigger release please") to the `main` branch, release-please did not create a release PR as expected.

**Details**
- Release-please app is installed and active for `googleapis/dotnet-genai`.
- The branch protection rules for `main` were recently updated to remove any restrictions that would block bot pushes or PR creation. See attached screenshot for current rules.
- The conventional commit (`feat:`) is present and unchanged on `main`.
- No release PR is currently open, and no bot errors or issues have been created or commented.
- A docs commit was merged after the protection rule fix to try to trigger the bot.

**Screenshots**
- Current branch protection rules:

- App installation and permissions:

**What I've tried**
- Verified bot installation and permissions
- Checked commit log for presence of conventional `feat:` commit
- Merged additional commit to trigger bot
- Waited for possible delays

**Expected behavior**
- Release-please should detect the unreleased `feat:` commit and open a release PR.

**Actual behavior**
- No release PR is opened, no error is reported by the bot.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Merge a conventional `feat:` commit to `main` in googleapis/dotnet-genai (PR #49)
2. Update branch protection to allow bot actions (see screenshot)
3. Merge a docs commit to trigger release-please (PR #55)

**Environment details**
- Repo: googleapis/dotnet-genai
- App: Release-please GitHub App
