I worked on systems that have additional code controls on the build servers that can block the builds. It is a bad idea. Let me take an example from the real world. Large monolith site. Some error occurred that needed a hotfix. The hotfix did not build on the server. It was not clear why it did not build so it took a maybe an hour to fix. Turned out that it did not like how a comment was formatted. Which added even more confusion since the build error did not even point to any real code. And that is how a comment costed ~50k dollars.
Maybe there could be like a grace period instead. Like, if you do not fix this within 30 days, new builds will be blocked.
