Feature Request: Allow creating a ruleset to require the Prod Environment Sync job to succeed before merging to main is allowed

[Ben-Epstein]

I'm trying to use the synchronized CI/CD workflow but i'm running into 1 specific issue.

I'd like to enforce that the Prod Environment Synced check is passing before merge. I have done that in a toy example here, but the issue is that requiring that to pass before merging actually causes it to fail, because it tries to merge the PR after the prod sync happens, but because it didnt send out a passing signal yet, github blocks it.

I don't want people accidentally merging PRs before the deploy step occurs - that defeats the purpose of the synchronized workflow's benefits.

The feature request is to modify the Prod Environment Sync job such that we can create a ruleset around it that would force its success before merging.

Thank you!

Hey @eakmanrq, perhaps you can help here? Should we mark this as feature/improvement?
