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.

Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
