Remote post-merge branch deletion was blocked because the capability
resolver classified delete_branch as an author-role task while
gitea.branch.delete is granted only to prgs-reconciler. No configured
profile could satisfy both the permission gate and the role gate, so
every deletion failed closed with performed=false.
Re-home delete_branch from the author role to the reconciler role in
both single-source-of-truth maps:
- task_capability_map.TASK_CAPABILITY_MAP["delete_branch"].role
- role_session_router: TASK_REQUIRED_ROLE + AUTHOR_TASKS/RECONCILER_TASKS
resolve_task_capability("delete_branch") now resolves to prgs-reconciler.
In gitea_delete_branch, the reconciler is now the delete-capable role and
performs raw deletion through the existing reconciliation-cleanup-phase
authorization gate (operator approval + safe_to_delete proof) plus the
preservation/protected guards; the prior reconciler->cleanup redirect is
removed as it would orphan that guarded flow. Author, reviewer, and
merger stay denied by the permission gate and the required-role gate.
gitea_cleanup_merged_pr_branch remains a separate reconciler-owned path
with independent merged/ancestry/ownership verification.
Tests: reconciler resolves + performs eligible deletion; author/reviewer/
merger denied even when holding the permission; protected/preservation
branches remain fail-closed; both role maps asserted in agreement.
Updated pre-existing tests that encoded the superseded author-delete /
#687 reconciler-redirect contract. Full suite: 3190 passed, 6 skipped,
1 pre-existing unrelated failure (test_issue_702 create_pr stale-binding).

Add audit vs cleanup phase tracking so reconciliation audits stay read-only
unless cleanup is explicitly authorized with delete capability proof, safety
proof, and before/after snapshots. Block gitea_delete_branch and merged-cleanup
execution during audit phase, validate final reports for false no-mutations
claims, and document the boundary in the reconcile-landed-pr workflow.
