  * BRANCH PROTECTION IS THE REASON TO READ THIS FILE. `github-host.mjs` treats a 404 from

- * endpoint exists and 404 means "no protection on this branch". Forgejo has no such endpoint at all -- it
- * uses `/branch_protections`, a different path with a different shape -- so carrying GitHub's assumption
- * across would make EVERY branch report unprotected and silently disarm the backstop that stops the agent
- * pushing to a protected branch. Issue #61 records this, and `REQ-BRANCH-PROTECTION-PRECONDITION` already
- * cites it by number as the failure that ordering exists to avoid.
+ * endpoint exists and 404 means "no protection on this branch". Forgejo has no such endpoint at all, so
+ * carrying GitHub's assumption across would make EVERY branch report unprotected. Issue #61 records this, and
+ * `REQ-BRANCH-PROTECTION-PRECONDITION` already cites it by number as the failure that ordering exists to avoid.
  *
- * And the fix is not simply "call the other endpoint". Forgejo's rules are GLOB patterns: a rule named
- * `release/*` protects `release/1.0` while `GET /branch_protections/release/1.0` returns 404. So this
- * LISTS the rules and matches each pattern against the branch, exactly as the GitLab host does -- and it
- * reuses that host's `matchesBranch` rather than writing a second globber, because two implementations of
- * "which branches does this rule cover" is two chances to widen it.
+ * The answer is the branch object's own `protected` field, from `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/branches/{branch}`. Forgejo
+ * computes it with the GLOB match itself: at v14.0.5 `GetBranch` (routers/api/v1/repo/branch.go) calls
+ * `GetFirstMatchProtectedBranchRule`, which loads every rule of the repository and returns the first whose
+ * `Match` covers the branch (models/git/protected_branch_list.go, protected_branch.go: a plain name compared
+ * case-insensitively, anything else as a glob), and `convert.ToBranch` sets `protected: true` exactly when a rule
+ * matched. So a `release/*` rule protects `release/1.0` here as it does in the forge. The route needs only read
+ * access to the code (`reqRepoReader(unit.TypeCode)`), which the job's `write` collaborator token has.
+ *
+ * This used to LIST `/branch_protections` and glob-match the rules here (reusing the GitLab host's
+ * `matchesBranch`). That listing is an admin route (`reqAdmin()`), so a job token of a `write` collaborator got
+ * 403 `{"message":"user should be an owner or a collaborator with admin write of a repository"}` (measured on
+ * Forgejo 14.0.5) and every job failed before spending: the check had quietly required an admin's token, which
+ * OQ-043 exists to keep out of jobs. The `protected` field is older than everything the listing supported
+ * (Gitea 1.11, and Forgejo is a fork of 1.18 and later), so no fallback to the listing is kept: it could only
+ * ever answer for a token that should not be in the job.
  *
  * A non-2xx is retryable, never `false`. Collapsing an error into "unprotected" is the same fail-open in a
  * different costume.
