Merge Queue (Refinery)
Overview
The Refinery is Gas Town's per-rig merge queue processor. It collects completed work from agents, detects conflicts between branches, resolves them (auto where possible), merges in dependency order, and verifies the integration.
When to Use
- After convoy beads are complete and ready to merge
- When multiple agents have worked on overlapping areas
- When integration testing is needed before landing
- When conflict resolution requires coordination
Process
- Collect pending changes from all agent branches
- Detect conflicts between branches and target
- Resolve conflicts (auto-resolve where possible)
- Merge in dependency order with attribution
- 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
