// IMPORTANT:
// Always return an empty slice ([]), not nil.
// If this function returns nil, go-github serializes the field as `"bypass_actors": null`,
// which causes GitHub API to reject the request with:
// 422 "Invalid property /bypass_actors: data cannot be null."
//
// According to the GitHub REST API specification:
// - The "bypass_actors" field must be an array (even if empty).
// - Sending `null` is invalid; sending `[]` explicitly clears the list.
// Reference:
// https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/rules#get-a-repository-ruleset
