Description

Production pipelines can only be triggered from production branches, as per this doc: https://eng.ms/docs/cloud-ai-platform/devdiv/one-engineering-system-1es/1es-docs/1es-pipeline-templates/features/releasepipelines/release-features/release-gating#branch-validation-1es-pt.

Production branches are autodetected by inspecting the name, which should follow an standard pattern. We currently name our production branches following the microsoft/release-branch.go* pattern, which is not in the official list.

https://github.com/microsoft/go/pull/1522 added a configuration file to the repo so that 1ES detects our release branches as production branches.

We should consider adopting the official naming convention instead of using our own.

Research direction

Review the linked 1ES branch-validation documentation and the configuration file added by PR #1522. Compare the current microsoft/release-branch.go* pattern with the official convention, then determine the branch and configuration changes needed and verify that production pipelines recognize the resulting branches.
