fix: add fallback rule so non-matching PRs get approved status (#83)

Qbandev · claude · web-flow · commit 91c2bf67fe98 · 2026-03-05T10:52:42.000+01:00
When all rules have `if` conditions and none match, policy-bot posts
an error status ("All rules were skipped"). Adding a fallback rule
with no `if` and count:0 ensures non-matching PRs get a clean
"approved" status while cherry-pick PRs on release/* branches
continue to be evaluated by the targeted rule.
