> Communication with your team is more important than writing check-in rules to prevent bad things from happening. There's some subtlety here. This is sort of a security vs safety issue. Some people are just reckless, and that's a human problem that is best dealt with through a stern talking to (or, ultimately, termination) rather than technical measures. You'd require an oppressive amount of check-in rules in place to be even remotely effective at stopping this behaviour, and those would just make life miserable for everybody else. Some people are new to the team and/or just plain inexperienced, and it takes time for them to absorb all the standard practices so they can innocently cause trouble. Even veterans will make mistakes. Low friction guard rails can help keep those people from getting into too much trouble without being too onerous.
