## Problem

The platform team is reporting on automated build volume from 2026. Look only at builds for the main and release branches that were not triggered manually. For each of those two branches, show the branch name, the build count as a whole number, the same count expressed as a decimal, and the average build duration in seconds. Two rows total, sorted alphabetically by branch.
