YAML and text merges write actionable conflict content, report conflict paths, and reject files with existing unresolved markers. Init now persists its initial Git base reference.

- Line 285: Update HasUnresolvedConflictMarkers to compare the trimmed start
marker with an exact equality check instead of strings.HasPrefix, while
retaining the closing-marker prefix check for YAMLMerger’s appended suffix. Add
tests covering both exact start markers and start markers with suffixes.
In `@pkg/generator/merge/yaml_merger.go`:
- Around line 270-295: Make the sentinel generation in addNodeConflict
collision-safe for the manual YAML merge path: ensure each generated sentinel
cannot match any pre-existing encoded document content, and ensure findSentinel
identifies the exact inserted conflict location rather than using ambiguous
substring matches. Add regression coverage for a pre-existing scalar equal to
the default ATMOSMERGECONFLICT000000 sentinel, preserving correct
conflict-marker placement.

the
patch
…ate, fix --force+--update atmos scaffold generate --update with the default --merge-strategy=manual discarded the entire merge on a real conflict instead of leaving diff3 markers to resolve by hand -- the still-open half of cloudposse#2912 (closed by cloudposse#2989, which fixed a different bug in the same thread). YAMLMerger and TextMerger now write real <<<<<<</=======/>>>>>>> markers plus every non-conflicting change, instead of nothing. Field-testing that fix surfaced three more gaps in the same area, all fixed here too: - atmos init --update had the exact base-ref-pinning bug cloudposse#2989 fixed for scaffold generate, silently discarding committed customizations -- it was never ported to cmd/init. - --force was silently ignored whenever --update was set. It now flips --merge-strategy's default to theirs when unset, and errors on an explicit ours/manual contradiction. - Re-running --update against a file left with unresolved markers gave an opaque "three-way merge failed" instead of naming the real problem.
CI's pre-commit hook (atmos validate --affected, EditorConfig checks) flagged 3-space continuation-line indentation under numbered list items as invalid -- .editorconfig requires markdown indent_size=2, so continuation lines must be a multiple of 2 (4 spaces here), not 3.
…ntinels - HasUnresolvedConflictMarkers now requires an exact match on the opening <<<<<<< Ours marker instead of a prefix match, so unrelated content that merely starts with that text (e.g. a trailing suffix on the same line) can't false-positive. - YAMLMerger's conflict sentinels now include a random hex suffix and are checked against the full base/ours/theirs text before use, so a pre-existing scalar value that happens to equal a sentinel can no longer be mistaken for a real conflict placeholder and corrupted.

atmos scaffold generate --update(andatmos init --update, sharing the same engine) with the default--merge-strategy=manualnow writes real<<<<<<</=======/>>>>>>>conflict markers plus every non-conflicting change on a real merge conflict, instead of discarding the whole merge and writing nothing.atmos init --updatenow pins its initial--gitcommit to.atmos/init/metadata.yaml, the same wayatmos scaffold generatealready does, and reads it back as the merge base instead of defaulting to liveHEAD.--forcecombined with--updateis no longer a silent no-op: an unset--merge-strategynow defaults totheirsin that combination, and an explicitly-passedours/manualtogether with--force --updateis now a clear validation error instead of silently doing nothing.--updateagainst a file already left with unresolved conflict markers now fails fast with a specific message instead of an opaquethree-way merge failed.--force-suggesting error hint across the merge engine to describe what--forceactually does now.why
mainbefore this fix.atmos init --updatehas the exact base-ref-pinning bug fix(scaffold): pin --update base ref, exclude .git, fix dry-run parity #2989 fixed foratmos scaffold generate, because the fix lived only incmd/scaffoldand was never ported tocmd/init— the two commands' base-ref resolution had drifted apart. This PR extracts the shared logic intopkg/generator/gitinit.goso it can't drift apart a second time.--forcebeing silently ignored under--updatemade several existing error hints false, and left users with no way to push through a conflict without hand-editing the file.See
