Fix Pr Conflict

Fix PR Conflict

Resolve merge conflicts on a pull request so it becomes mergeable.

1. Identify the PR

Determine the PR number using these sources, in order of priority:

1. Explicit number from the user's request.
2. A PR created earlier in this conversation (check chat history for gh pr create output or PR URLs).
3. The current branch via gh pr view.

# Try the current branch first
gh pr view --json number,headRefName,baseRefName,mergeable,mergeStateStatus 2>/dev/null

# Or by explicit number
gh pr view <number> --json headRefName,baseRefName,mergeable,mergeStateStatus

If the PR is already mergeable, report that and stop.

2. Prepare

git fetch origin <baseRefName> <headRefName>
git checkout <headRefName>

Verify the working tree is clean before proceeding.

3. Rebase onto Base Branch

git rebase origin/<baseRefName>

If the rebase completes with no conflicts, skip to step 5.

4. Resolve Conflicts

When the rebase stops on a conflict:

1. List conflicting files: git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U
2. Check for generated files first: if a conflicting file is code-generated (look for // Code generated ... DO NOT EDIT. headers, or paths matching known generator outputs like *.pb.go, *_gen.go, sqlc/openapi output dirs), do not attempt to merge the conflict markers. Instead:
   • Accept either side to unblock the rebase (e.g. git checkout --theirs <file> or git checkout --ours <file>), git add <file>, and continue.
   • After the rebase completes, regenerate the file from its source (buf generate, go generate, sqlc generate, etc.) and amend or add a follow-up commit with the regenerated output.
3. For each remaining conflicting file, understand both sides:
   • Read the file to see the conflict markers.
   • Check what the base branch changed: git log --oneline origin/<baseRefName> -- <file> and read the relevant commits.
   • Check what the PR branch changed: review the current commit being applied (git log --oneline -1 REBASE_HEAD).
   • For >5 conflicting files, fan out the per-file analysis to Explore subagents (model: sonnet, per subagent-model-routing — semantic intent matters; classification requires understanding both sides' design) per parallelize-subagents and delegate-investigation. Each subagent reads one file's conflict markers + the relevant base/PR commits, returns a classification (mechanical / semantic / ambiguous) plus a resolution proposal in ≤80 words, prefixed with Status: ... per subagent-prompt-contract. Main agent applies resolutions sequentially via Edit (Explore is read-only; it analyzes, you apply).
4. Classify the conflict:
   • Mechanical: both sides changed nearby lines but the intent is independent (e.g. adjacent import additions, unrelated function changes). Resolve by keeping both changes with correct formatting.
   • Semantic: both sides changed the same logic or API in incompatible ways. Attempt to resolve if the correct outcome is clear from context.
   • Ambiguous: the conflict involves a design decision, requirement tradeoff, or unclear intent. Stop, abort the rebase (git rebase --abort), and escalate to the user with a description of the conflict and what options exist.
5. After resolving each file: git add <file>
6. Continue the rebase: git rebase --continue
7. Repeat until the rebase completes or an ambiguous conflict requires escalation.

5. Verify

Run verification per verify-when-complete. If failures stem from a bad conflict resolution, fix and amend the relevant commit. If errors are unrelated, report them.

6. Force Push

git push --force-with-lease

Then verify the PR is now mergeable:

gh pr view <number> --json mergeable,mergeStateStatus

Report the result. If GitHub still reports conflicts (can take a few seconds to recompute), wait and re-check once.

7. Summarize Semantic Resolutions

If any conflict resolutions were semantic (changed logic, adapted APIs, reconciled incompatible changes) rather than purely mechanical:

1. Ask the user whether a summary of the conflict resolutions should be added as a comment on the PR.
2. If yes, post a concise comment:

   gh pr comment <number> --body "..."
   

   The comment should summarize what was resolved and any decisions made during resolution. Keep it brief: focus on what a reviewer needs to know.

If all resolutions were mechanical (adjacent-line merges, independent additions), skip this step.
