+name: "Hotfix Conflict Resolution"
+description: |
+  Verifies the hotfix conflict path: a cherry-pick onto env/test produces
+  merge conflicts, resolve_conflict supplies clean content, the PR is merged,
+  and hotfix_merged records the finalized state.
+
+  The conflict is engineered by:
+  - commit1: src/shared.go with Version = "1"
+  - promote to test/prod (both anchored at commit1)
+  - commit2: src/shared.go Version = "2" (trunk advances, dev re-orchestrated)
+  - commit3: src/shared.go Version = "2-patched" (fix on top of commit2)
+  - hotfix_apply commit3 onto env/test (which has "1") triggers conflict
+    because the cherry-pick context expects "2" but finds "1"
