Resolvers
Resolve file conflicts from layered templates
Resolvers
Resolvers handle file conflicts when composing multiple templates. They receive multiple versions of the same file from different template layers and produce a single merged output.
What Are Resolvers?
When templates are layered (through dependencies or composition), the same file path may be provided by multiple sources. Resolvers:
- Receive all versions of a conflicting file
- Apply merge logic based on configuration
- Return a single unified file

The resolver returns a single file with merged content.
