resolving-merge-conflicts

1. **See the current state** of the merge/rebase. Check git history, and the conflicting files. 2. **Find the primary sources** for each conflict. Understand deeply why each change was made, and what the original intent was. Read the commit messages, check the PRs, check original issues/tickets. 3. **Resolve each hunk.** Preserve both intents where possible. Where incompatible, pick the one matching the merge's stated goal and note the trade-off. Do **not** invent new behaviour. Always resolve; never `--abort`. ## CRITICAL: Preserve intent, never invent Understand the original intent of each change before resolving it. Do **not** invent new behaviour; where intents conflict, pick the one matching the merge's stated goal and note the trade-off. Always resolve — never `--abort`. 4. Discover the project's **automated checks** and run them, typically typecheck, then tests, then format. Fix anything the merge broke. 5. **Finish the merge/rebase.** Stage everything and commit. If rebasing, continue the rebase process until all commits are rebased.
