## [3.8.3](https://gitlab.com/to-be-continuous/semantic-release/compare/3.8.2...3.8.3) (2024-05-05)

### Bug Fixes

* **workflow:** disable MR pipeline from prod & integ branches ([0bdec1c6](https://gitlab.com/to-be-continuous/semantic-release/commit/0bdec1c625b01ad7b96629f5d448583fab9a1969))

Today creating a backmerge MR from prod or integ branch to any other branch triggers a pipeline
even though no change has been pushed.
Ultimately those pipelines might (re)trigger integration or production environment deployment and/or packages publication.
That might have unexpected consequences.
This change simply disables MR pipeline from prod & integ branches, enforcing branch pipelines only (i.e. when a true commit is pushed).
