Changes touching this path

• every conflict-stopping verb gets a named way out, and building it corrected the ticket in both directions rather than just adding flags: merge does not stop on a conflict at all, since merge_tips records the triples and fold_onto then signs the merge node and materializes the merged tree, so an abort there is a view step off signed history rather than the forgetting of a stop; while cherry-pick, revert and squash do the opposite and return before writing anything of their own, so their stop leaves even the paths that merged cleanly unapplied. the five named verbs are also not the whole set: converge, pull, adopt and ferrys carry bounce reach the same fold and the same ingest, and the stale-disk settle files a conflict on the way past any capturing verb with no operation behind it at all, so the covered set is now a census rather than an assumption. the state is one position-owned artifact at .loot/position/in-progress carrying the verb, its operand, and the op-log index the view sat at before the verb ran, declared Refuse on malformed content because a torn record read as absent answers nothing to abort over a tree that really is mid-operation, which is the single failure the record exists to prevent. it is a real artifact rather than a derivation because conflicts-are-non-empty-and-the-newest-op-is-a-stopping-verb answers no the instant the last resolve lands, which is exactly when continue must still work. nothing here re-implements a rollback: the inventory row is Captured at ordinal 7, so abort is that one index handed to op restore, which already restores the view, re-materializes the tree, refuses over edits made after the stop, and appends the compensating operation the op-log criterion asked for; force is declared on the five verbs and refused without abort. continue closes the stop rather than replaying it, because the re-run was built first and measured to reproduce the identical conflict: these verbs are capture-first and a resolve on the pre-dock home position never writes the tree, so the closure states instead that the operation applied nothing. status and conflicts name the operation through one derivation, and the pin asserts the identical line in both (#1506) 21b9faf1 · dbf3dbe6…

Renames are not followed. loot's tree maps a path to an address, so a rename is a delete and an add. This list is the history of the name, not of the bytes.
