Two failures: (1) esbuild build scripts were ignored by pnpm, causing 'pnpm run build' to fail with 'Cannot find module esbuild'. The merge workspace needs 'pnpm approve-builds' run to allow esbuild scripts. (2) 'cargo test' failed because Cargo.toml was not found at the merge workspace root — the script/test runner is looking for it at .story_kit/merge_workspace/Cargo.toml which doesn't exist. The squash merge itself was clean (no conflicts), but the quality gate runner's working directory or setup for the temporary merge workspace needs fixing." ---- - -# Story 238: Mergemaster handles merge conflicts by resolving them automatically - -## User Story - -As a mergemaster agent, I want to detect and resolve merge conflicts when squash-merging feature branches, so that stories don't get stuck in the merge queue requiring manual intervention. - -## Acceptance Criteria - -- [ ] When merge_agent_work encounters a merge conflict, the mergemaster reads both sides of the conflict and produces a resolved file that preserves changes from both branches -- [ ] After resolving conflicts, the mergemaster runs quality gates (cargo check, cargo test, pnpm build, pnpm test) to verify the resolution is correct -- [ ] If quality gates fail after conflict resolution, the merge is reported as failed with details about what went wrong -- [ ] The mergemaster handles the common case of multiple feature branches adding to the same file (e.g. both adding tests or UI sections to the same component) - -## Context - -Three stories got stuck in the merge queue (2026-02-28) because the mergemaster couldn't handle conflicts: - -- Stories 235, 236, 237 all modified the same files (`WorkItemDetailPanel.tsx` and its test file) -- 237 merged cleanly. 235 failed silently (empty output from `merge_agent_work`). 236 had conflicts in both component and test files. - -**Conflict patterns observed:** -1. **add/add in test file**: Multiple branches created the same test file from scratch with different mock setups. Resolution: combine mock setups and keep all test suites. -2. **content conflict in component**: Both branches added different state, imports, hooks, and UI sections. Resolution: keep all additions from both sides. -3. **Placeholder list divergence**: Both branches removed different items from a shared placeholder list. Resolution: remove both since both features are now real. - -**Manual resolution process:** -1. `git merge --squash --no-commit feature/story-{id}` -2. Read conflicted files, understand both sides -3. Write resolved files combining both feature additions -4. Run `tsc --noEmit` and `pnpm test` to verify -5. Stage, commit, move story to done - -Most conflicts in this codebase are additive — two branches adding different features to the same files, not contradictory changes. - -## Out of Scope - -- TBD
