This is for the Ruffle - Flash Emulator (https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ruffle-flash-emulator/pipjjbgofgieknlpefmcckdmgaaegban)

Any time this happens in CI, the extension package still gets created as a draft, viewable in the Edge dashboard, but publish through CI fails so the only way to submit it for review is to manually push it from the dashboard, which should not be necessary.
