Automatic merge of pull requests ignores Rulesets

Body

If Require status checks to pass is enabled in the Branch rules of Rulesets, the manual merge button cannot be pressed unless the status of the specified GitHub Actions is “success”. This is the expected behavior.

However, if you enable automatic merging while in progress, the merge will happen automatically when the Actions are finished, regardless of the status of the GitHub Actions (whether success, failed, or skip). Originally, we expect an automatic merge when the status of the Actions becomes “success”.

If I use Branch protection rules instead of Rulesets, the above phenomenon does not occur and automatic merging checks the status of Actions' “success”. Is there no other way but to use Branch protection rules instead of Rulesets?
