General Information

The non-traversable GH_MatchesEnvironmentPolicy edge links a branch to a GitHub Environment deployment branch policy that it satisfies.

This edge is emitted when a branch name matches the pattern defined by a GH_EnvironmentBranchPolicy node, such as main, release/*, or release/**/*. The edge is structural rather than directly traversable because matching a policy alone does not guarantee deployment access; the environment may still require protected branches, reviewers, wait timers, or other controls.

GH_MatchesEnvironmentPolicy is primarily used as supporting evidence for computed GH_CanDeployToEnvironment edges.
