[CRITICAL] Implement merge completion recording in Evolution Tracker

[joelfuller2016]

Summary

Severity: 🔴 CRITICAL
File: apps/backend/core/workspace.py:1143-1145
Category: Incomplete Implementation - Core Functionality

Problem

Merge completion recording is disabled with TODO comment. After resolving merge conflicts, the system should record completion in the Evolution Tracker but this critical step is commented out.

Current Code

# TODO: _record_merge_completion not yet implemented - see line 141
# if resolved_files:
#     _record_merge_completion(project_dir, spec_name, resolved_files)

Impact

• ❌ Lost context about merge completion
• ❌ Evolution Tracker integrity broken
• ❌ Future merge decisions lack historical data
• ❌ Cannot track which conflicts were resolved and how

Required Implementation

1. Implement _record_merge_completion() function
2. Record successful merge resolutions in evolution tracker
3. Include:
   • Spec name
   • Resolved files list
   • Timestamp
   • Merge strategy used
   • Conflict resolution method

Acceptance Criteria

• _record_merge_completion() function implemented
• Commented code uncommented and enabled
• Evolution tracker properly records merge completions
• Future merges can query past resolutions
• Unit tests verify tracking works

Priority

IMMEDIATE - This breaks core Git worktree workflow integrity

Issue Summary: Merge completion recording is disabled with TODO comment - Evolution Tracker integrity broken

Location: apps/backend/core/workspace.py:1143-1145

Required Implementation:

Fixed in PR #541

The _record_merge_completion() method has been implemented in the Evolution Tracker. It now properly records:

• Merge timestamp
• Source branch name
• List of merged files
• Spec ID reference

This enables full merge history tracking for audit trails and conflict prevention.

Hi @joelfuller2016,

Thank you for your enthusiasm and interest in improving Auto-Claude! We appreciate you taking the time to identify potential areas for improvement.

However, we are closing this issue (along with related bulk submissions) for the following reasons:

1. Volume: Opening 20+ issues at once makes it difficult for our small maintainer team to triage effectively
2. Actionability: Many of these issues lack specific reproduction steps or concrete implementation proposals
3. Coordination: We would love your help, but it works best when coordinated with the team

How to contribute effectively:

• Join our Discord community to discuss ideas before opening issues
• Focus on 1-2 high-impact issues at a time with detailed context
• Consider submitting PRs for smaller fixes - we review those quickly!
• Check existing issues to avoid duplicates

We would genuinely welcome your contributions through the proper channels. See you on Discord!
