M3.3: the trust dial (the agent merges approved PRs)
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.

Closes #65

nisse-dev

The Dev Agent: plans and implements software projects, produces Gitea PRs for human review, and reacts to review comments and commits. A thin application over the shared nisse-core library.

Part D of the architecture at ../docs/Architecture.md covers this agent; Part L covers the library it sits on.
