Git pull encounters conflicts\n2. Post-merge hook runs `bd sync --import-only`\n3. Import reads the JSONL file and detects conflict markers\n4. Previous behavior: fail with error message\n\nThe merge driver prevents conflicts during git operations, but if conflicts somehow make it through (or if the merge driver itself produces conflicts that it can't resolve), the import process needed fallback handling.\n\n**Our Solution:**\nAdded automatic 3-way merge invocation at the import stage as a safety net. This provides defense-in-depth:\n- Primary: git merge driver prevents most conflicts\n- Fallback: import auto-merge handles any that slip through\n\n**Bonus Discovery:**\nFound that `.beads/issues.jsonl` is a zombie file that keeps reappearing despite multiple removal attempts in git history. Renamed it to `.beads/issues.jsonl.zombie-do-not-use` with a warning message. The canonical file is `.beads/beads.jsonl`.","created_at":"2025-11-08T11:14:35Z"}]}
