Request: Ops repo branch protection — add planner-bot to merge whitelist

What

Forgejo branch protection on disinto-ops repo blocks all agent writes (git push AND API file commits). The planner-bot user needs to be added to the merge whitelist so the planner can push prerequisite tree updates, memory, and vault items.

Why

Blocks #758 (ops repo branch protection), which blocks:

• #820 (re-seed ops repo directories)
• #982 (collect-engagement evidence commit)
• All planner tree persistence (prerequisites.md stuck since run 2, 2026-04-08)
• Vault lifecycle directories (pending/approved/fired/rejected)
• Evidence collection for all agents

Waiting since 2026-04-08 (first identified in planner run 2).

Human action

1. Open Forgejo admin → disinto-ops repo → Settings → Branches → Branch Protection for main
2. Add planner-bot to the "Merge Whitelist" (and optionally gardener-bot, dev-qwen, dev-qwen2 for future ops writes)
3. Test: cd disinto-ops && git push from the agents container (or planner container)
4. Comment on #758 confirming resolution

Factory will then

• Planner pushes updated prerequisites.md, knowledge/planner-memory.md, vault items
• #820 (re-seed ops repo) becomes unblocked and enters dev-agent pipeline
• #982 (collect-engagement commit) becomes unblocked
• Vault lifecycle directories are created and populated
• Evidence collection begins for all agents

Unblocks

• #758 — ops repo branch protection blocks all agent writes
• #820 — re-seed ops repo directories
• #982 — collect-engagement.sh never commits evidence
