# Request: Remove or relax ops repo branch protection

## What
The ops repo (`disinto-ops`) has branch protection on `main` that requires approvals, but no bot account has sufficient permissions to merge. Agents (planner, architect, supervisor) can commit locally but cannot push to remote.

## Why
Blocks #758, #820, and transitively all ops repo writes.
- prerequisites.md has not been pushed since 2026-04-08 (run 2)
- Vault pending items cannot be persisted
- Sprint artifacts from architect are not pushed
- Any container restart loses all ops repo state accumulated since 2026-04-08
Waiting since 2026-04-15 (first gardener flag).

## Human action
1. In Forgejo, go to the `disinto-ops` repo → Settings → Branch Protection for `main`
2. Either remove branch protection entirely (agents are the primary writers), OR add `planner-bot` to the merge whitelist
3. Verify by pushing a test commit or confirming `planner-bot` can push directly

## Factory will then
- Push accumulated ops repo changes (prerequisites, memory, vault items, sprints)
- Close #758 and #820
- Re-seed missing vault directories (approved/, fired/, rejected/)
- Resume persisting planner knowledge across container restarts

## Unblocks
- #758 — ops repo branch protection blocks all agent writes
- #820 — re-seed ops repo directories
- Vault workflow (pending/approved/fired/rejected lifecycle)
- Evidence collection for all agents
