  - Configuration:                2 files (toml)

================================================================================
CONFLICT SEVERITY BY COMPONENT
================================================================================

CRITICAL PATHS (Must resolve first):
  - apps/api/src/api/main.py (core startup file)
  - apps/api/pyproject.toml (dependency versions)
  - apps/api/src/adapters/auth/authentication-manager.ts (auth logic)
  - apps/api/src/config/settings.py (configuration)

HIGH PRIORITY (Affects multiple modules):
  - API Routers: 11 files
  - API Services: 14 files
  - API Models: 11 files
  - Frontend Components: 14 files
  - API Adapters: 10 files

MEDIUM PRIORITY (Can use standard merge approaches):
  - Test Files: 15 files
  - Infrastructure/Database: 5 files
  - Frontend Configuration: 3 files

LOW PRIORITY (Auto-resolvable):
  - Node Modules: 27 files
  - Build Dependencies: Can regenerate via npm install

================================================================================
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
================================================================================

PRIMARY CAUSES:

1. MONOREPO RESTRUCTURING MISMATCH
   - Feature branch: Files at src/api/...
   - Develop branch: Files at apps/api/src/api/...
   - Result: Same logical files in different locations

2. PARALLEL FEATURE DEVELOPMENT
   - Both branches added: routers, services, models independently
   - No coordination on shared implementation areas
   - Adapter code diverged significantly

3. DEPENDENCY DRIFT
   - Feature branch: Specific versions locked (pydantic with email, pytest 8.0)
   - Develop branch: Different versions (pydantic without email, pytest 7.4)
   - No centralized dependency management during divergence

4. AUTHENTICATION/ADAPTER CONFLICTS
   - Feature branch: Different token caching approach (_tokenCache)
   - Develop branch: Public tokenCache with different implementation
   - Competing encryption method implementations

5. API INITIALIZATION DIVERGENCE
   - Feature branch: Different router registrations
   - Develop branch: Different router set
   - Both added retry logic in different ways

================================================================================
CONFLICT PATTERN ANALYSIS
================================================================================

PATTERN 1: Dependency Version Conflicts
  Location: apps/api/pyproject.toml
  Type: add/add (both branches modified)
  Resolution: Choose version or make conditional
  Example: pydantic with/without email extras

PATTERN 2: Code Implementation Conflicts
  Location: Authentication manager, adapters, services
  Type: add/add (competing implementations)
  Resolution: Requires code review and consolidation
  Example: Token caching approach differs between branches

PATTERN 3: Router/Middleware Organization
  Location: main.py, router imports
  Type: add/add (different sets of imports)
  Resolution: Merge both router sets (union approach)
  Example: workos_oauth_router vs search_router

PATTERN 4: File Path Reorganization
  Location: Multiple middleware, model, router, service files
  Type: file location (directory restructuring)
  Resolution: Choose canonical location and move files
  Example: src/api/... vs apps/api/src/api/...

PATTERN 5: Frontend Component Divergence
  Location: App.tsx, Dashboard.tsx, components/
  Type: add/add (different component implementations)
  Resolution: Compare and consolidate functionality
  Example: Different dashboard layouts, navigation structures

PATTERN 6: Node Modules Conflicts
  Location: node_modules/.bin/*, .vite/deps/*, symlinks
  Type: Binary/Symlink changes
  Resolution: Delete all conflicts, run npm install
  Impact: LOW - Automatically resolved

================================================================================
RESOLUTION STRATEGY (PHASED APPROACH)
================================================================================

PHASE 1: PREPARATION & STRUCTURAL RESOLUTION (1-2 hours)
  Step 1a: Decide on canonical file structure (BLOCKER)
           Question: Is the target src/api/ or apps/api/src/api/?
           Action: All PR reviewers must agree
  
  Step 1b: Resolve all file path conflicts
           - Move files to canonical location
           - Update all import statements
           - Verify no orphaned files
  
  Step 1c: Clean up node_modules conflicts
           - Keep ours for all node_modules/* changes
           - Delete all node_modules conflict markers
  
  Step 1d: Handle build artifacts
           - Delete dist/, reports/
           - Let build process regenerate

PHASE 2: CONFIGURATION & DEPENDENCY RESOLUTION (1-2 hours)
  Step 2a: Resolve pyproject.toml
           - Compare pydantic versions: decide on email extras
           - Compare pytest versions: align on 8.0 if possible
           - Keep cryptography, workos dependencies from feature branch
           - Strategy: Keep feature branch version when clear benefit
  
  Step 2b: Resolve requirements.txt
           - Align with pyproject.toml changes
  
  Step 2c: Resolve settings.py
           - Merge configuration options (keep both if not contradictory)
           - Ensure all environment variables are defined
           - Keep more comprehensive version

PHASE 3: CORE LOGIC RESOLUTION (2-4 hours)
  Step 3a: Resolve authentication-manager.ts
           - Decide on token caching: _tokenCache vs tokenCache
           - Keep encryption method if needed by feature branch
           - Review both versions for security improvements
           - Use feature branch as base, integrate develop improvements
  
  Step 3b: Resolve main.py
           - Union approach: Register routers from BOTH branches
           - Include: workos_oauth_router, search_router, participant_router
           - Keep retry logic from develop
           - Keep async utilities from develop
           - Consolidate middleware initialization
  
  Step 3c: Resolve adapter classes
           - Compare each adapter (box, membrane, plaid, quickbooks)
           - Keep both implementations if no conflict
           - Merge improvements from both branches
           - Ensure common base adapter is consistent
  
  Step 3d: Resolve services and routers
           - Create unified service layer (union of both)
           - Ensure no duplicate method definitions
           - Consolidate router endpoints
           - Verify all endpoints registered in main.py

PHASE 4: FRONTEND RESOLUTION (1-2 hours)
  Step 4a: Resolve frontend components
           - Review App.tsx for both implementations
           - Merge routing/component structure
           - Consolidate Dashboard components
           - Integrate FileUpload, FinancialUpload functionality
  
  Step 4b: Resolve package.json
           - Merge dependency specifications
           - Use feature branch versions if newer and stable
           - Verify compatibility with backend changes
  
  Step 4c: Resolve styles and config
           - Merge CSS files (union of both)
           - Update vite.config.ts (keep more complete version)

PHASE 5: TESTING & VALIDATION (2-4 hours)
  Step 5a: Post-merge setup
           - npm install --legacy-peer-deps
           - pip install -r requirements.txt (or poetry install)
  
  Step 5b: Type checking
           - npm run typecheck
           - mypy checks for Python
           - Fix type errors before proceeding
  
  Step 5c: Build
           - npm run build (frontend)
           - Verify no build errors
  
  Step 5d: Unit tests
           - npm run test
           - python -m pytest apps/api/tests/
  
  Step 5e: Integration validation
           - Backend health check
           - Frontend connection test
           - WebSocket functionality
           - API endpoint verification

PHASE 6: FINAL REVIEW & COMMIT (1 hour)
  Step 6a: Code review
           - Verify all conflict markers removed
           - Ensure imports updated
           - Spot-check critical paths
  
  Step 6b: Documentation
           - Update MERGE_STATUS.md with resolution notes
           - Document any decisions made
  
  Step 6c: Commit
           - Create merge commit with detailed message
           - Reference conflict resolution strategy used

================================================================================
ESTIMATED TIME & EFFORT
================================================================================

QUICK RESOLUTION (Using ours/theirs strategy):  1-2 hours
PROPER MERGE (Code review & consolidation):     3-6 hours  
TESTING & VALIDATION:                           2-4 hours
TOTAL ESTIMATED:                                6-12 hours

Recommendation: Allocate 1 full day + review buffer

================================================================================
DECISION POINTS (BLOCKERS)
================================================================================

BLOCKER 1: File Structure Decision
  Question: Should code be at src/api/ or apps/api/src/api/?
  Decision needed from: Architectural lead
  Impact: Affects 40+ file path conflicts
  
BLOCKER 2: Authentication Strategy
  Question: _tokenCache or tokenCache? Include encryption method?
  Decision needed from: Backend/auth lead
  Impact: Affects authentication functionality
  
BLOCKER 3: Dependency Version Strategy
  Question: Pydantic with/without email extras?
  Decision needed from: DevOps/dependency manager
  Impact: May require environment adjustments

BLOCKER 4: Router Registration
  Question: Union approach (register all routers) OK?
  Decision needed from: API lead
  Impact: Affects API surface and performance

================================================================================
RISK ASSESSMENT
================================================================================

HIGH RISKS:
  - File path reorganization errors → API won't start
  - Missing router registrations → Endpoints unavailable
  - Incomplete adapter consolidation → External integrations fail
  - Unresolved import errors → Build fails
  
MEDIUM RISKS:
  - Frontend component conflicts → UI issues
  - Dependency version incompatibility → Runtime errors
  - Test failures → Undiscovered bugs
  
MITIGATION:

================================================================================
CONCLUSION
================================================================================

This merge is complex but manageable with proper planning and decision-making.
The 115 conflicts are primarily due to structural refactoring and parallel
development rather than conflicting business logic.

Key success factors:
1. Get consensus on architectural decisions upfront
2. Resolve structural conflicts first, then content
3. Use feature branch as base (it's more complete)
4. Comprehensive testing post-merge
5. Clear communication with team

Proceed with caution and thorough testing.
