Every PR here adds an entry at the top of Completed Steps in TODO.md, so each merge to next left the other open PRs conflicting there (#98).
A root .gitattributes marks TODO.md with merge=union: when two branches insert at the same place, git keeps the lines of both. This repository only; nothing canonical changes.
What the diff does not show:
Git never reports a TODO.md conflict; a real one keeps both versions.
Both entries are not always kept whole. When two new entries share an identical line, such as a short closing line, git keeps it once and the incoming entry lands inside the other. A rebase can do this to an entry already on next, so the merged entries must be read after every merge or rebase, as the .gitattributes comment and the TODO.md entry say.
A rebased entry lands below every entry that reached next after its branch was cut, not on top.
Checks, in a scratch clone, two branches cut from this PR head each adding a different entry at the top of Completed Steps:
git merge-tree --write-tree: no conflict, both entries kept.
git merge: no conflict, both entries kept.
Disclosures:
Judgement call: .gitattributes was not added to the root files list in REPO_POLICIES.md, which allows "project-level config files" and is incomplete (.dockerignore is missing).
Not known: whether Gitea's own conflict check applies this; that depends on the server's git version and on how Gitea runs the check.

Every PR here adds an entry at the top of Completed Steps in `TODO.md`, so each merge to `next` left the other open PRs conflicting there (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/issues/98).
A root `.gitattributes` marks `TODO.md` with `merge=union`: when two branches insert at the same place, git keeps the lines of both. This repository only; nothing canonical changes.

A rebase can do this to an entry already on `next`, so the merged entries must be read after every merge or rebase, as the `.gitattributes` comment and the `TODO.md` entry say.

The new TODO.md Completed Steps entry, the comment in .gitattributes and the PR body all say union keeps both entries. That is not always true. When the two new entries share an identical line, git reports no conflict but inserts the incoming entry into the middle of the one already on next. Short closing lines such as canonical changed. or issue 72. already recur in this file, so this can happen. A rebase onto next does it to an entry that has already landed, and nothing in the repository's checks catches it. The PR body's list of what the diff does not show leaves this out. Acceptable: the PR body and the TODO.md entry state this limit, and the .gitattributes comment says that git never reports a conflict in TODO.md, so the merged entries must be read after every merge or rebase.
The PR body says union puts the entry already on the target branch first, "so the entry merged last sits second". In fact the rebased entry lands below every entry that reached next after the branch was cut, which is not always second place. Acceptable: say that.
Judgement call: the change is still worth having, because rebasing onto next now resolves TODO.md with no hand edits, even though Gitea will still mark other PRs as conflicting after each merge.

PR body, second bullet under "What the diff does not show": "short closing lines such as canonical changed. recur" is not true.

.gitattributes, lines 1-2: the comment gives only the warning, not why TODO.md is merged with union. #98 asks for a comment saying why, and the second review round asked for it again.

Acceptable: a short comment that gives the reason (every PR adds an entry at the top of Completed Steps, so each merge to next left the other open PRs conflicting) and keeps the warning.
PR body, the "Not verified" disclosure: it predicts that PRs will likely still show as conflicting because Gitea's check does not read .gitattributes. Current git does apply merge=union when merging in a bare repository, as long as the common ancestor of the two branches has the .gitattributes. So whether Gitea still marks PRs cut after this lands as conflicting depends on the server's git version and on how Gitea runs its check. Acceptable: say only that it is not known whether Gitea will still mark PRs as conflicting, or drop the prediction.

Every PR adds an entry at the top of Completed Steps in TODO.md, so each
merge to next left every other open PR conflicting there. A root
.gitattributes now marks TODO.md merge=union, so two branches inserting
at the same place merge without a conflict.
Git now never reports a conflict in TODO.md: a real conflict elsewhere
keeps both versions of the line, and two new entries that share an
identical line end up one inside the other. The .gitattributes comment
and the TODO.md entry say to read the merged entries after every merge
or rebase.
This applies to this repository only; nothing canonical changes.

PASS: every finding from the three earlier review rounds is fixed, and the change meets the definition of done in #98.
Judgement call: a shared identical line does not always put one entry inside the other, so "when two new entries share an identical line" (PR body, commit message, TODO.md entry) overstates it slightly; the instruction to read the merged entries after every merge or rebase covers it.
Judgement call: current git applies the attribute in a bare repository only when attr.tree names a tree that has it, not whenever the common ancestor has it as the third round said; the PR's "not known" wording stays accurate.
