The current harness.code.repo.standards OPA package provides limited visibility into repository configurations, restricting its ability to enforce comprehensive code repository governance standards. While basic validations (default branch existence, repository metadata) are supported, there is no access to branch protection rules, branch naming patterns, or detailed branch governance configurations within OPA policy evaluation.

This limitation forces organizations to implement separate validation mechanisms (API-based scripts, external tools) to enforce branch governance standards, creating fragmented governance processes and reducing the effectiveness of Policy as Code initiatives.
