-merge_failure: "Squash-merge produced an empty diff. The feature branch's code changes (commits 2a01069, 4f890fc) are already present in master — only .story_kit/ pipeline files differ. The code was likely merged via a prior merge operation. Human intervention needed to determine whether to accept the story as-is or investigate how the code reached master."
