anchors synthesize
Two PRs conflicting in CONTENT become a synthesis card.
Opens the card that asks for the synthesis of two conflicting PRs, and closes both.
A content conflict is not resolved by automation: two agents wrote different thingsabout the same rule, and picking a side is choosing without reading both.
What this command does is give the wait an OWNER. The new card asks for what neither of thetwo PRs delivers alone: the best of each, in a result better than both.

TRACEABILITY is the point: the card cites both issues and both PRs; the issuesget a comment pointing to it; the PRs are closed saying where the workcontinued. Nothing is lost.anchors synthesize [flags]| Flag | Default | What it does |
