Before applying a handoff prompt's tiebreaker default ("merge the first-mover", "the clean-against-main one", "the one with reviewer APPROVE") to pick a winner between two parallel PRs that implemented the SAME scope, run `gh pr diff` on BOTH and audit for substantive deltas. Use when: (1) a session prompt or handoff doc surfaces a parallel-PR collision and recommends a tiebreaker, (2) two PRs targeting the same issue / same fix area are open simultaneously authored by different sessions, (3)…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pre-Tiebreaker Delta Check on Scope-Overlapping Parallel PRs

## Problem

Two parallel sessions independently opened PRs targeting the same issue
(same fix scope, same files, same goal). A session-handoff prompt later
asks a third session to pick a winner. The prompt's recommended tiebreaker
is some combination of:

- "Merge the first-mover" (older PR by createdAt)
- "Merge the one that's clean against main" (mergeable: CLEAN, no rebase needed)
- "Merge the one with reviewer APPROVE" (assumed implies higher quality)
- "Merge the one with wider scope" (e.g., bundles verification + handoff doc)

These rules are about **merge mechanics**, not implementation quality.
They can — and do — ship the inferior PR while the better implementation
gets closed.

## Trigger Conditions

ALL of the following must hold:

1. Two parallel PRs are open simultaneously, targeting overlapping scope
   (same issue number cited as `Closes #N`; same files touched; same fix
   intent).
2. A session-handoff prompt explicitly suggests a tiebreaker default
   ("merge #X because it's first-mover", "clean against main", "wider
   scope"), or you're operating from such instructions in auto-mode.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/parallel-pr-scope-overlap-tiebreaker-delta-check@sha256:03acd60927d39834

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
