 "page_title": "How to let the newest agent edit win on chosen files with Layerfs",
 "summary": "Name files in a .lww rule so concurrent edits do not stop a merge.",
 "who": "A team whose agents regularly touch the same generated or config files and keep hitting Conflict errors on merges.",
 "problem": "Two Commits that change the same file are refused with Conflict, which blocks merges on files where any version is acceptable.",
 "outcome": "Files named in a .lww rule never conflict, and the newest edit is kept, while other files still get the normal conflict check.",
 "steps": [
  "Find the files that agents keep editing at the same time and that you are happy to overwrite with the newest version.",
  "Add those files to a .lww conflict rule in the project, following the Core ideas page at Layerfs.ai/docs/core-ideas/.",
  "Run the parallel agents on separate Branches as usual.",
  "Merge the Branches and check that the named files hold the newest edit.",
  "Check that files not named in the rule still stop with Conflict when two Commits change them."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the LayerFS repo at https://github.com/Ephemeral-AI-Lab/layerfs, add a .lww rule for <file list> in <project path>, then merge two Branches that both edit those files. Report which edit was kept. Verify that an unnamed file changed on both Branches still produces a Conflict.",
