Looks like we need to add a (app: Probot).on("push") filtered by a regex against a regex configured in the config file. Then a new function will be needed similar to scanPullRequest ("scanBranch" ?) will be needed, which builds from the result of Octokit.branch.
For scanning a PR, I don't see anything in the code restricting which base branch it runs against.
For the nightly scanning of the repo, that could be something that we add configuration for and run on multiple branches.

I agree! so it comes down to a question of triggering, right?
As best I can tell, GH Merge Queue (MQ) will create a branch conforming to the regex: gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-.*
when the user presses the "Merge When Read" button (which replaces the "Squash and Merge" button, when MQ is activated on the branch)
This new branch adds a new commit to the PR feature branch, but I don't think it emits any events that the snippet-bot (scanning the PR) would be able to trigger on. Also, snippet-bot would need to figure out which commit (HEAD of the new regex-conforming branch) to verify.

cl/529194834 (xref b/278605884) added kokoro support for continuous branch builds based on regex. This unblocked adopting the Merge Queue github feature for kokoro-based Required checks. However, snippet-bot is not checking on these commits. (https://screenshot.googleplex.com/7WwabdGm8Yocd9J)
Can we add a branch-regex-based check option for snippetbot? That will get us one step closer for Merge Queue
