# Request: Remove or relax ops repo branch protection

## What
The `disinto-ops` repo has branch protection on `main` that requires approvals, but no bot account has merge permissions. All agent writes (prerequisites.md, planner-memory.md, vault items, evidence) have been accumulating locally only since planner run 2 (2026-04-08).

## Why
Blocks #758, which blocks #820 (re-seed ops dirs), which blocks the vault lifecycle workflow, evidence collection, and planner remote persistence. The ops repo remote `main` has been frozen for 9 days.

## Human action
1. Go to Forgejo admin: disinto-ops repo → Settings → Branches → Branch protection for `main`
2. Either:
   a. Add `planner-bot` to the push/merge allowlist, OR
   b. Remove branch protection from `disinto-ops` entirely (ops repo is internal, not public-facing)
3. Verify: `planner-bot` can push to `origin/main` on `disinto-ops`

## Factory will then
- Close #758 (ops repo branch protection)
- Execute #820 (re-seed ops dirs: vault/pending, vault/approved, vault/fired, vault/rejected, evidence/*, portfolio.md, RESOURCES.md)
- Resume remote persistence of prerequisites.md and planner-memory.md
- Unblock vault lifecycle workflow (pending → approved → fired)

## Unblocks
- #758 — bug: ops repo branch protection blocks all agent writes
- #820 — fix: re-seed ops repo directories after branch protection resolved
