Require an explicit Azure Pipelines pr: trigger.

Targeted pattern scope

Pipelines that omit pr: entirely or explicitly set pr: none.

What this rule reports

This rule reports Azure Pipelines configs that do not enable pull-request validation.

Why this rule exists

Repositories often remember push validation but forget pull-request validation. That leaves review branches untested until after merge, which is exactly when feedback becomes more expensive.
