Why: AI coding agents currently push and open PRs as Ben's own account
using Ben's token, so their work is unattributable and carries Ben's full
owner privileges. A dedicated least-privilege identity separates agent work
from Ben's and keeps merge a human decision.
How:
- add the unkin-agent bot user (non-admin, no org/repo creation, limited
visibility); it authenticates via ephemeral vault-plugin-secrets-gitea
tokens, not a stored password
- add the agents team granting Write on all unkin repositories, the minimum
needed to push branches and open PRs; unkin-agent is its only member
- add merge_whitelist_teams Owners to every default-branch protection rule
that lacked a merge whitelist, so Write no longer implies merge and only
Owners (Ben) can merge across the estate
