 name: "Rename StorkIt to Story Kit in the header"
+merge_failure: "merge_agent_work returned no output on 2 attempts. The merge-queue branch (merge-queue/257_story_rename_storkit_to_story_kit_in_header) was created with the correct squash merge commit (db85446), but the pipeline never completed — it did not fast-forward master, run quality gates, or move the story to done. The tool silently returns empty results. Server logs show the tool was called and project_root resolved correctly, but no further progress is logged. This appears to be a server-side bug in the merge pipeline — the merge-queue branch exists with the correct changes (2 files: ChatHeader.tsx and ChatHeader.test.tsx) and is ready to be fast-forwarded to master manually if needed."
