ref_protected from STS trust policies#6436Conversation

true, it provides no actual filtering — only a false sense of security. Removing it has zero functional impact on policy enforcement.All other constraints (subject, ref, job_workflow_ref, project_path, pipeline_source, etc.) remain unchanged and continue to provide the real security boundaries.
