- When multiple agents have worked on overlapping areas
- When integration testing is needed before landing
- When conflict resolution requires coordination

## Process

1. **Collect** pending changes from all agent branches
2. **Detect** conflicts between branches and target
3. **Resolve** conflicts (auto-resolve where possible)
4. **Merge** in dependency order with attribution
5. **Verify** integration (tests, lint, build)

## Conflict Strategies

- **auto**: Attempt automatic resolution, escalate on failure
- **manual**: Always require human review
- **theirs**: Prefer incoming changes
- **ours**: Prefer target branch changes
