General Information

The traversable GH_CanWriteBranch edge is a computed edge indicating that a role or actor can push to a specific branch. The computation evaluates both the merge gate (PR review requirements) and push gate (push restrictions) of any branch protection rule protecting the branch. Role-level edges are the common case; per-actor edges from GH_User or GH_Team are only emitted when BPR allowances grant access beyond what the role provides. Each edge includes a reason property (no_protection, admin, push_protected_branch, bypass_branch_protection, push_allowance, bypass_pr_allowance) and a query_composition Cypher query showing the underlying graph evidence.

Scenarios

no_protection — Unprotected branch

Branch has no BPR. Any write-capable role can push directly.
