+    (via the /user endpoint), the active runtime profile metadata
+    (``get_profile``), and the target PR (author, state, head SHA,
+    mergeability), then returns a decision with clear reasons.

+    Fail-closed rules:
+    - Unknown action or unknown remote → not eligible.
+    - Profile has no configured allowed operations, or the action is not in
+      the profile's allowed operations (or is forbidden) → not eligible.
+    - Authenticated identity cannot be determined → not eligible.
+    - Authenticated user equals the PR author → not eligible to ``approve`` or
+      ``merge``.
+    - PR is not open → not eligible.
+    - For ``merge``, PR must be reported mergeable.
+
+    Never returns the token, Authorization header, or any credential material.
