 - `branch_create(name)` / `branch_create_from(target, name)` — disallowed name `main`; fails if branch exists; ensures the schema-apply lock is idle.
 - `branch_list()` — returns public branches, **filters the internal** `__schema_apply_lock__` branch.
-- `branch_delete(name)` — refuses if there are descendants or active runs on the branch; cleans up owned per-branch fragments.
+- `branch_delete(name)` — refuses if there are descendants on the branch, or if it is the current branch; cleans up owned per-branch fragments.
 - **Lazy forking**: a branch only forks a sub-table when that sub-table is first mutated on it. Pure-read branches share fragments with their source.
 - `sync_branch(branch)` — re-binds the in-memory handle to the latest head of the branch.
