Current approach is last-write-wins with version history - simple but doesn’t solve concurrent edits. I don’t think auto-merge is the right default for prose/r

Current approach is last-write-wins with version history - simple but doesn’t solve concurrent edits.
I don’t think auto-merge is the right default for prose/research (unlike code where Git’s merge works). When Agent A writes strategic memo concluding X while Agent B writes concluding NOT-X, merging both is worse than surfacing the conflict.
Thinking the right model is:
∙ Optimistic writes (current behavior) for most cases
∙ Explicit locks for high-stakes docs agents know they’re collaborating on
∙ Diff tooling for post-hoc resolution when conflicts do occur
thanks for asking a great question. whats your thoughts?
