Content build-out on top of the Phase 1 topic move. No behavior changes. Splits (existing content relocated, cross-linked): - queries/index.md → mutations/index.md (insert/update/delete + the inserts-vs-deletes rule) and search/index.md (the multi-modal search functions + a hybrid-ranking overview tying nearest/bm25/rrf together). queries/index.md now covers the read shape and points at both. - branching/index.md → branching/time-travel.md (snapshots/time travel) and branching/merge.md (three-way merge + the 7 conflict kinds, verified against error.rs MergeConflictKind). New pages (written from the code, user-facing): - quickstart.md — init → load → query → branch, with verified CLI flags. - concepts/index.md — what OmniGraph is + the L1/L2 (Lance/OmniGraph) framing. Expanded operations/audit.md from a 7-line struct dump into a real actor-tracking page (server token-resolved vs CLI --as chain; reading the trail; the omnigraph:recovery reserved actor). Index wiring: docs/user/index.md and AGENTS.md's topic table link every new page; also normalized AGENTS.md's docs/user link display text to match the Phase 1 retargeted paths. Verified: zero broken .md links; check-agents-md.sh green (57 links, 54 docs). Deferred to Phase 3: de-dev polish (grammar paths, IR internals still in queries/branching), guides/, and a possible reference/config.md split (the config schema is already coherent in cli/reference.md).

Merging Branches
Merging integrates the changes on one branch into another. OmniGraph merges are three-way and row-level: it compares both branches against their common ancestor and merges each node/edge table row by row, then publishes the result as one atomic commit across the whole graph.
omnigraph branch merge review/2026-04-25 --into main s3://bucket/graph.omni
branch merge <source> [--into <target>] merges <source> into <target>
(default main).
Outcomes
A merge resolves to one of three outcomes:
- Already up to date — the target already contains every change on the source; nothing to do.
- Fast-forward — the target has no changes the source lacks, so the target simply advances to the source.
- Merged — both sides diverged; a new merge commit is created with two parents.
Conflicts
When both branches changed the same data incompatibly, the merge fails with a
structured list of conflicts (the HTTP server returns 409 with a
merge_conflicts[] array). No partial result is published — the merge is
all-or-nothing. The conflict kinds are:
| Kind | Meaning |
|---|---|
DivergentInsert |
The same id was inserted on both branches. |
DivergentUpdate |
The same row was updated differently on both branches. |
DeleteVsUpdate |
One side deleted a row the other side updated. |
OrphanEdge |
An edge references a node the other side deleted. |
UniqueViolation |
The merged result would violate a unique constraint. |
CardinalityViolation |
The merged result would violate an edge cardinality constraint. |
ValueConstraintViolation |
The merged result would violate a value constraint (enum/range). |
Each conflict carries the table, the row id (when applicable), the kind, and a message. Resolve conflicts by reconciling the two branches — typically by making the conflicting change on one side and re-merging.
