Britannio Jarrett 3a68435f2a add docs for resolving rebase conflicts (vibe-kanban) (#778) 
* Perfect! I've successfully created comprehensive documentation for conflict resolution in Vibe Kanban. Here's what I accomplished:

## Summary

✅ **Created a comprehensive documentation page** at [`docs/core-features/resolving-merge-conflicts.mdx`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/core-features/resolving-merge-conflicts.mdx) that covers:

- **Git worktrees and branching concepts** with clear explanations
- **Step-by-step rebase process** from detection to resolution
- **Two resolution methods**: manual editing and automatic agent-based resolution
- **Best practices** for preventing and handling conflicts
- **Troubleshooting section** for common issues

✅ **Added Mermaid diagrams** to visualize:
- How worktrees isolate different task attempts
- The sequence of events that leads to conflicts

✅ **Included strategic placeholder content** for screenshots:
- Rebase button interface
- Rebase dialog
- Conflict banner with options
- Generated instructions interface

✅ **Updated navigation** in [`docs.json`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/docs.json) to include the new page in the Core Features section

The documentation follows Mintlify technical writing standards and maintains consistency with existing documentation style, including proper use of components like Steps, Tabs, Accordions, and callout boxes.

* Perfect! I've addressed all the review comments:

## Review Comments Resolved

✅ **Fixed Mermaid diagram syntax** - Changed from `<mermaid>` tags to code block syntax ```mermaid for both diagrams

✅ **Updated rebase button screenshot** - Copied and used the actual `vk-rebase-needed.png` image from Downloads

✅ **Enhanced conflict resolution section** - Added the `vk-rebase-conflicts-prompt-zoom.png` screenshot and improved the documentation to better describe:
- The conflict resolution banner with three buttons (Open in Editor, Insert Resolve-Conflicts Instructions, Abort Rebase)
- The state shown in the screenshot after pressing "Insert Resolve-Conflicts Instructions"
- More detailed explanation of what users see in the interface

The documentation now uses the actual screenshots from your Vibe Kanban application and follows proper Mintlify syntax conventions. The conflict resolution workflow is comprehensively documented with real visual examples that users will recognize when they encounter these situations.

* Perfect! I've addressed both review comments:

## Review Comments Resolved

✅ **Fixed Mermaid diagram** - Removed the incorrect reference to creating a commit when creating the task branch. Now it accurately shows "Create task branch" instead of "Create branch (commit A)".

✅ **Simplified rebase process** - Updated the documentation to reflect the actual workflow:
- The base branch is already set when creating the task
- User simply clicks the **Rebase** button (no branch selection dialog)
- Status changes from "Rebase needed" to either success or "Rebase conflicts"
- Removed the incorrect rebase dialog screenshot reference
- Added clear explanation of the status transitions

The documentation now accurately reflects the streamlined rebase process in Vibe Kanban where users don't need to select branches during rebase - they just click the button and the system handles it based on the originally configured base branch.

* Perfect! I've created a comprehensive state machine diagram that shows all the different states a task can be in and the transitions between them. Here's what I've accomplished:

## State Machine Diagram Features

✅ **Complete Task Lifecycle** - Shows the full journey from task creation to completion or cancellation

✅ **Detailed Conflict Resolution Flow** - Breaks down the conflict resolution process into granular states:
- Conflict detection
- Manual vs. automatic resolution options
- Abort and retry paths
- Final resolution to merge-ready state

✅ **Branch Status Integration** - Shows how branch status (up-to-date, behind, conflicts) affects the workflow

✅ **Color-Coded States** - Visual indicators for different types of states:
- Green: Starting states
- Yellow: Active/working states
- Red: Conflict/error states
- Blue: Success/ready states
- Gray: End states

✅ **Clear Action Labels** - Each transition is labeled with the user action or system event that triggers it

✅ **Nested State Groups** - Complex states like "InProgress" and "InReview" are broken down into sub-states for clarity

## Key Benefits for Users

This diagram helps users understand:

1. **Current Position** - Where they are in the task lifecycle
2. **Available Actions** - What they can do from their current state
3. **Path to Merge** - How to get from any state to a mergeable condition
4. **Conflict Resolution Options** - Clear paths for both manual and automatic conflict resolution
5. **Recovery Paths** - How to recover from errors or conflicts

The state machine provides a complete mental model of the Vibe Kanban task workflow, making it easier for users to navigate complex scenarios like rebasing and conflict resolution.

* Perfect! I've created a minimal, no-BS version at [`conflict-resolution-quick-guide.mdx`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/core-features/conflict-resolution-quick-guide.mdx) that covers only the essentials:

## Key Features of the Minimal Guide

✅ **Straight to the point** - Assumes user understands Vibe Kanban
✅ **Focused state diagram** - Only shows conflict resolution flow
✅ **Two clear options** - Manual vs automatic resolution
✅ **Essential steps only** - No explanatory text, just actions
✅ **Single screenshot** - The most important UI element
✅ **Quick reference format** - Scannable for users in a hurry

## What's Removed

- Extensive explanations about Git worktrees
- General Vibe Kanban concepts
- Best practices section
- Troubleshooting scenarios
- Detailed background information
- Multiple screenshots and examples

## What's Kept

- Essential conflict resolution workflow
- Clear action steps
- The key screenshot showing the conflict banner
- Simple state diagram focused only on conflict states
- Immediate next steps

This version is perfect for users who encounter their first merge conflict and just need to know "what do I click to fix this?" without all the context and background information.

* ✅ Updated [`docs.json`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/docs.json) to include the new conflict resolution quick guide in the Core Features navigation.

The documentation now has both versions:
1. **Comprehensive guide** - "Resolving Merge Conflicts" with full explanations
2. **Quick reference** - "Conflicts Quick Guide" for experienced users who just need the essentials

* Perfect! I've successfully:

✅ **Removed the quick guide** - Deleted the file and updated [`docs.json`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/docs.json)

✅ **Simplified the state machine** - Reduced to just three core states:
- **Mergeable** (green) - Ready to merge
- **Behind** (yellow) - Needs rebase
- **Rebase Conflicts** (red) - Conflicts to resolve

The new diagram is much cleaner and focuses only on the branch status states that users actually encounter when dealing with merge conflicts. It shows the essential flow: task completes → base advances → rebase needed → conflicts (maybe) → back to mergeable.

* ✅ **Removed the state machine entirely** from the documentation. The documentation now flows directly from the introduction to the Git worktrees explanation, making it more streamlined and focused on the practical aspects of resolving merge conflicts.

* Perfect! I've completely restructured the documentation to be much more concise and focused:

## Key Changes Made

✅ **Moved rebase image to the top** - Now leads with "When You See 'Rebase Needed'" showing the actual UI

✅ **Simplified flow** - Clear progression: Rebase Needed → Click Rebase → Conflicts (maybe) → Resolution

✅ **Focused on automatic resolution** - Positioned as the "Recommended Approach" with the conflict resolution screenshot prominently displayed

✅ **Removed verbose sections**:
- Git worktrees explanations
- Complex state diagrams
- Conflict types breakdown
- Best practices section
- Troubleshooting section

✅ **Made it more actionable** - Users see exactly what buttons to click and what happens next

## New Structure

1. **Rebase Needed** - Shows the rebase button image upfront
2. **What Happens** - Simple tabs showing success vs conflicts
3. **Automatic Resolution** - Featured approach with the conflict banner image
4. **Manual Alternative** - Brief alternative for advanced users
5. **Abort Option** - Simple escape hatch

The documentation is now much more direct and focused on the essential user journey: see rebase button → click it → handle conflicts (preferably automatically) → done.

* Perfect! I've addressed the review comment and made the requested improvements:

## Changes Made

✅ **Updated starting image** - Now shows the "Rebase conflicts" status instead of "Rebase needed" using the new screenshot

✅ **Restructured from conflicts state** - Docs now start after the user has already pressed rebase and encountered conflicts, which is more intuitive

✅ **Simplified automatic resolution section** - Converted the Steps component to a single, more concise paragraph that flows better

✅ **Streamlined flow** - Removed the "What Happens When You Rebase" section since we now start from the conflicts state

## New Structure

1. **When You See "Rebase Conflicts"** - Shows the actual conflict state with the new image
2. **Resolving Conflicts Automatically** - Single paragraph explaining the recommended approach
3. **Manual Resolution (Alternative)** - Brief alternative for advanced users
4. **Aborting a Rebase** - Simple escape hatch

The documentation is now even more focused and starts exactly where users are most likely to be when they need help - after they've encountered conflicts and are looking at the conflict resolution banner.

* ✅ **Added the conflict banner image** perfectly positioned after "The conflict banner provides three options to resolve the situation:"

The documentation now has a clear visual showing exactly what the conflict banner looks like, making it much easier for users to identify the three options (Open in Editor, Insert Resolve-Conflicts Instructions, Abort Rebase) when they encounter the conflict state. This visual reinforcement helps users quickly understand their available actions.

* ✅ **Updated the manual resolution section** to accurately reflect both approaches:

## Key Changes Made

**Added two distinct options:**
- **Single file approach** - Using "Open in Editor" from the conflict banner (requires refreshing and repeating for each file)
- **Multiple files approach** - Using "Open in [Your IDE]" from the Actions pane (recommended for multiple conflicts)

**Updated the workflow:**
- Changed the first step to mention both options with a recommendation for the IDE approach
- Updated the git commands to use `git add .` instead of adding individual files, since users would likely be resolving multiple files
- Made it clear that the IDE approach is more efficient when dealing with multiple conflicted files

This gives users a much clearer understanding of their options and steers them toward the more efficient workflow when they have multiple conflicts to resolve.

* ✅ **Updated the automatic resolution text** with the requested changes:

## Changes Made

- **Simplified description** - Changed from detailed list of actions to simply "complete the rebase automatically"
- **British spelling** - Changed "analyze" to "analyse"
- **Removed bold formatting** - Changed "**Send**" to just "Send"

The text is now more concise and focuses on the end result rather than the technical details of what the agent does internally.

* ✅ **Made "Send" bold again** - Changed back to **Send** to maintain consistency with other UI button references in the documentation.

* ✅ **Updated the status description** to accurately reflect what users actually see - the task will show commits ahead (like "3 commits ahead") and the **Merge** button becomes available, rather than referring to a non-existent "Ready to Merge" status.

* ✅ **Addressed both review comments:**

## Changes Made

1. **Fixed commits ahead text** - Changed "commits ahead" to "*n* commits ahead" with *n* in italics to show it's a variable number

2. **Converted to ordered list** - Broke down the wall of text into a clear 2-step ordered list:
   - Step 1: Click the button to generate instructions
   - Step 2: Review and send to the agent

The automatic resolution section is now much more scannable and easier to follow, while the status description is more accurate about what users will actually see.

* ✅ **Successfully updated the task-details-full-screen.mdx file** with all requested changes:

## Updates Made

✅ **Added backlink** - Added "Resolving Merge Conflicts" to both the Rebase section and Related Documentation section

✅ **Removed false statements**:
- Removed "Some task actions (like "View full diff") automatically switch to full screen mode for better visibility"
- Removed "Tab Navigation: Use browser tab controls to switch between Logs, Diffs, and Processes"
- Removed "Conflict Handling: Any merge conflicts are displayed in the Diffs tab"

✅ **Added 'n' shortcut** - Added "**n**: Create a new task attempt" to the Keyboard Shortcuts section

✅ **Fixed British spelling** - Changed "Minimize" to "Minimise" in the Exiting Full Screen Mode section

✅ **Enhanced rebase section** - Added a proper reference to the new merge conflicts documentation right in the rebase section where users would need it most

The documentation now accurately reflects the actual functionality and provides proper cross-references to help users navigate between related features.

* ✅ **Successfully renamed the documentation from "Resolving Merge Conflicts" to "Resolving Rebase Conflicts"**

## Changes Made

✅ **Renamed file** - [`resolving-merge-conflicts.mdx`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/core-features/resolving-merge-conflicts.mdx) → [`resolving-rebase-conflicts.mdx`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/core-features/resolving-rebase-conflicts.mdx)

✅ **Updated frontmatter** - Changed title and sidebarTitle to "Resolving Rebase Conflicts"

✅ **Updated navigation** - Updated [`docs.json`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/docs.json) to reference the new file path

✅ **Updated cross-references** - Updated both references in [`task-details-full-screen.mdx`](file:///private/var/folders/5q/5vgq75y92dz0k7n62z93299r0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/worktrees/vk-2c23-docs-confl/docs/core-features/task-details-full-screen.mdx) to point to the renamed page

The rename makes the documentation more accurate since these conflicts specifically occur during rebase operations in Vibe Kanban's workflow, not general merge operations.

* ✅ **Image cleanup completed!**

## Summary

**Images currently used in the documentation:**
1. ✅ `vk-rebase-conflicts-actions-pane.png` - Main image showing "Rebase conflicts" status
2. ✅ `vk-rebase-conflicts-banner.png` - Conflict banner showing three resolution options
3. ✅ `vk-rebase-conflicts-prompt-zoom.png` - Generated instructions in the follow-up field

**Removed unused image:**
- ❌ `vk-rebase-needed.png` - This was replaced when we restructured to start from the conflicts state instead of the "rebase needed" state

All remaining images are actively referenced in the documentation and serve important purposes in explaining the conflict resolution workflow.
