Because you assign \n the scope markup.heading. Either you don’t assign \n with that scope, or you assign it an extra scope so that you can exclude it by the - selector operator.

Yet you don’t need push at the first place. I suggest

- match: '^[A-Z_]+\b.*$(\n?)'
  captures:
    0: markup.heading # the whole matched string
    1: meta.whitespace.newline

{
  "name": "markup headings",
  "scope": "markup.heading - meta.whitespace.newline",
  "font_style": "bold",
  "foreground": "var(black)",
  "background": "var(red)",
},

Thanks it worked,

Can you point me to tutorials / examples for captures and push?

There is doc for selector as well. https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/selectors.html
