docs(maintainers): correct the claim that this repository is unprotected - #3060
Conversation
MAINTAINERS.md said no branch protection rule is configured, so code-owner
approval and the maintainer-approval requirement were 'a convention here, not a
gate'. AGENTS.md repeated it. Both are wrong: dev, main, and preview each carry
an active repository ruleset, and Protect dev (id 20763889) requires a pull
request with one approving review, code-owner review, and extra approval for
unattributed changes, while blocking deletion and non-fast-forward pushes.
The claim was believable because rulesets do not appear in the classic
/branches/{branch}/protection endpoint, which returns 404 for all three
branches. Anyone checking the old way would have confirmed the sentence.
Two consequences were being mis-stated. A reader was told a direct push to dev
would land, when the ruleset rejects it whether or not --no-verify is used. And
the maintain/admin role's pull_request bypass was undocumented, so an owner
merge that skips the approval requirement looked like the documented normal
case instead of an exercised bypass. The note now says it is a bypass rather
than an exemption, and that using it should be recorded on the pull request.
The ancestry heuristic really is convention -- it is a CI check, not a branch
rule -- so that sentence is narrowed rather than reversed.

Reconcile the direct-push policy.
Lines 311-312 say that direct pushes to dev are rejected. MAINTAINERS.md Lines 73-74 still says that direct pushes are reserved for maintainer-owned integration work, urgent repairs, and incident recovery. Unless that rule applies only to unprotected branches, the two documents give conflicting instructions. Update MAINTAINERS.md Lines 73-74 or qualify this paragraph.
Proposed wording for MAINTAINERS.md
- Direct pushes are reserved for maintainer-owned integration work, urgent repairs, or incident recovery. The same CI and documentation requirements still apply.
+ Direct pushes to `dev`, `main`, and `preview` are rejected by the active rulesets. Use a pull request for integration, urgent repairs, and incident recovery. Record any `maintain`/`admin` `pull_request` bypass on the pull request.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Name every bypass role accurately.
The paragraph first assigns the bypass to the maintain/admin roles, then says that “an owner” can merge without approval. A maintain user is not necessarily the project owner. Replace “an owner” with “a user with the maintain or admin role”.

- so an owner can merge without the approval the rules otherwise require.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

리뷰 · 우선순위 71 / 80이 PR은 코드가 아니라 문서만 고칩니다. 대상은 왜 지금 diff는 작습니다. AGENTS.md는 "관례로 강제한다 / 보호가 설정될 때까지"를 "ancestry는 CI 체크이고, 브랜치 자체는 ruleset으로 보호된다. --no-verify여도 직접 push는 거절된다"로 바꿉니다. MAINTAINERS.md의 CODEOWNERS 절은 "보호 없음 → 관례"를 "Protect dev ruleset이 강제한다"로 바꾸고, maintain/admin bypass를 면제가 아니라 bypass로 이름 붙입니다. ancestry 문장만 "ruleset이 ancestry는 안 본다"로 좁힙니다. 본문에 적은 검증(rulesets API, 문서 읽는 테스트 스위트, privacy scan)과도 범위가 맞습니다. 라인 MAINTAINERS.md CODEOWNERS 절 - 옛 문장(보호 없음/관례)이 실제 Protect dev ruleset과 정면으로 어긋나 기여자를 오도한다 메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

Summary
MAINTAINERS.mdstated that no branch protection rule is configured on thisrepository, and concluded that code-owner approval and the maintainer-approval
requirement are "a convention here, not a gate".
AGENTS.mdrepeated the sameclaim. Both are inaccurate:
dev,main, andprevieweach carry an activerepository ruleset.
Protect dev(id 20763889) requires a pull request with oneapproving review, code-owner review, and extra approval for unattributed
changes, and blocks deletion and non-fast-forward pushes.
The mistake was an easy one to make and worth recording: rulesets do not appear
in the classic
/branches/{branch}/protectionendpoint, which returns 404 forall three branches, so verifying the old way confirmed the sentence.
Two consequences were being mis-stated. A reader was told a direct push to
devwould land, when it is rejected regardless of
--no-verify. And themaintain/adminrole'spull_requestbypass was undocumented, so an ownermerge that skips the approval requirement read as the documented normal case
rather than an exercised bypass. The note now names it a bypass rather than an
exemption and asks that its use be recorded on the pull request.
The ancestry heuristic genuinely is convention, since it is a CI check rather
than a branch rule, so that sentence is narrowed instead of reversed.
Found by an adversarial pre-merge audit of the #3047-#3050 stack (HIGH-1).
