Earlier config was enable_push=false + apply_to_admins=false, which I
expected to let the repo owner push directly. Empirically it blocked
owner pushes too — apply_to_admins governs approval-rule bypass, not
push-rule bypass. Switch to enable_push=true with enable_push_whitelist
and a single entry so the owner has explicit, auditable direct-push
access while casual commits still can't land without being whitelisted
or going through a PR.

Codifies the branch protection applied to main on 2026-04-16: no
direct pushes, required checks = CI / {lint,test,validate-json}*,
zero approvals (2-person team), admin bypass left on for emergencies.
Script is idempotent (create-or-patch) and reads its token from
\$FORGEJO_TOKEN or the local git remote URL as a fallback, so a
clean re-run just reconciles the rule with branch-protection.json.
