📖 How It Works

MergeMaster uses LangGraph to orchestrate a ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) agent loop:

1. Explore - Lists directories, searches files
2. Understand - Reads relevant code and context
3. Plan - Outlines implementation approach
4. Implement - Makes focused, incremental changes
5. Verify - Runs lints, tests, and validates
