Gitea dismisses an approval made stale by a push in a job it queues on the
push (services/pull AddTestPullRequestTask, v28.1.0), and its merge check
counts approvals not yet dismissed. Measured here, the approval stands for
0.15-0.23 s after the push; the test's merge came a couple of API calls
later, so it usually lost the race, and once won it. The test now waits for
the dismissal, with a timeout, before expecting Gitea's refusal, and checks
the agent's own rule at once: the PR's head is read from the branch, so the
approval is for an older commit straight away.
Also notes in the Development Plan why the helper loop doesn't compact.

What isn't the dev agent's moves to nisse-core, unchanged in behaviour,
with its tests: canonical, render, render_anthropic, llm, catalog, probe,
context, views, state, reconcile, worker, cancel, dump, transport, matrix,
execution, testing, vault, memory, oplog, envfile and gitea (whole).
- nisse_core.state.StateStore holds the tables every agent has; an
agent's subclass adds its tables (version, migrations), roles and
views. nisse_dev.state.StateStore adds the build VM blocks (v5).
- views.project takes what each role is shown, rather than a fixed table.
- Vault takes the agent's name (agent=), for provenance.
- A test that nisse_core never imports an agent.
- The loop, config, git, delegation, expert, tools and evals stay in
nisse-dev until nisse-ops has a loop to share.
Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.1 done and notes that Phase 6 waits on
the agent host and Terraform; Architecture Part L names the package.

A project's trust.merge is operator (the default) or approved (L3, D5,
#65). Set to approved, the harness, never the model, merges a PR in the
PR watch once an approving review from a gitea.operators account is on
its current commit, its checks pass (none at all counts; pending
waits) and it's mergeable; the item then goes on as after any merge.
Each reason to hold off (failed checks, conflicts, a refused merge) is
said once per commit.
Gitea enforces it: protection requires approvals from an operators-only
whitelist and dismisses stale ones. At start, for each approved
project, the agent checks by behaviour that its own unapproved merge is
refused, with a throwaway branch and PR made through the API (never the
workspace); if it isn't refused, the operator merges until a restart.
- gitea: approvals, combined check status, a PR's head commit and
mergeability, API-made branches and their deletion.
- Test and bring-up repositories get the protection.
- Tests: the decision (unit), the hard wall on a real Gitea
(test_trust_live), an e2e test where the operator only approves, and
a walk property, merges_only_approved, checked against a mutant that
ignores which commit was approved.
