Worked on stabilizing branch protection functionality in the go-gitea/gitea repository by addressing a bug in the Branch Protection API. Focused on backend development using Go, the work involved correcting the handling of the allowed force-push users field, ensuring that updates to the allow-list are processed as intended. This fix resolved an issue that previously blocked API updates and improved the reliability of repository protection policies. Additionally, test coverage was updated to accurately reflect the corrected field usage, eliminating false negatives and stabilizing continuous integration. All changes were properly documented with sign-offs and issue references to support code traceability.
