THE MERGE

two branches become one
3-way merge: BASE, two branches edit it. non-conflicting edits auto-merge; a line both sides change differently is a CONFLICT.
MERGED:
clean · conflicts
LIT A genuine 3-way line merge, the algorithm behind git merge. For each line it compares OURS and THEIRS to the BASE: if only one side changed, take that side; if both made the same change, take it; if both changed it differently, it's a CONFLICT (marked <<< ours | theirs >>>). Here two edits auto-merge and one line (log ok vs log fail) genuinely conflicts. Counts live in window.__merge.

FIG The two-player CO-OP framing is the story; the base-vs-ours-vs-theirs resolution is the real merge every team relies on.
