I can see compiling happen accidentally, since it’s probably just a compile flag and someone forgot to disable it. But pushing is really surprising, sure it can be automated, but usually you have a manual process for such things (e.g. my company’s prod deployment is 100% automated, except for a manual approval step once everything is ready).
So the only way for this to happen imo is if they pushed something intentionally and has accidentally disabled/enabled a flag at some point prior.
It may very well have been two or more different people stepping on each other’s feet in the dark.
I recall binge-ing Source leak summary videos. Everything that Valve uses that engine for is extremely tightly coupled.
Whenever CS:GO or Dota 2 gets an update, data miners get to work and discover a bunch of assets of unrelated source games.
Sounds like your company is doing things the halal way and using modern standards. At Valve, it’s just a clusterfuck dev tool GUI on top of a monolithic codebase where no one can possibly know a fraction of what’s going on.

Lol, I’ve been at places like that. Sounds awful.
Half of the IT industry running the world is probably still running on this.
Ew. Do they have no shame?
