4343 | `archive` | `{ repo | repos, archived?, dryRun? }`: archive (true) or wake (false) a repository, by name; planned first (`dryRun` is true unless `false`); only the repository's admin with an admin token, never an agent. `repos` (at most 50) runs the fleet `archive` operation over them, answers each one's outcome and the `operation` id; `limb` with `action: "undo"`, that `operation` and any one of the repositories as `app` reverts it for a day | yes |
44 | `branches` | `{ repo, name?, action?, from? }`: without `name`, lists the branches; with `name` and `action` (`create` from `from`, or `delete`) it does what the branches page does: the default branch is never deleted, only a writer may act | yes |

4647 | `spawn` | `{ name, apps?, crew?, dryRun? }`: a child forge, planned first (`dryRun` is true unless `false`); an admin's, and an `ro` token may plan but not make | yes |

Minor: when listBranches fails this answers branches: []. An agent reads that as "this repository has no branches" when really the read failed. Answer bad("unavailable", …) instead, so a failure never looks like an empty list.
