Validate the content that will be staged.

If an editor or agent writes conflict markers after git diff --check finishes but before git add -A runs, the guard checks the old content and Git stages the new content. The subsequent commit can record those markers. Validate the staged snapshot while preserving the unmerged index when validation fails. Git stages file content at the time git add runs.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts at line 2539:
Update the executeGit staging flow to validate the exact content that will be staged, rather than relying on a diff check that can become stale before git add runs. Ensure validation failure leaves any unmerged index entries intact; use an approach that establishes this guarantee without assuming an unsupported Git API.

Fail closed when the conflict-check output is truncated.

executeGit runs this check with appendTruncationMarker: true. When the output exceeds REVIEW_METADATA_MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES, it returns the retained prefix with stdoutTruncated: true and does not fail. The guard ignores that flag. Reports past the cut are never parsed, so files with unresolved markers can pass the check and reach git add -A. git diff --check also reports whitespace errors, which can use up the limit before the conflict-marker reports.

Suggested fix 

-        const reports = check.stdout.split("\n");
+        if (check.stdoutTruncated) {
+          return yield* new GitCommandError({
+            operation: "GitVcsDriver.commit.conflictMarkers",

+          });

Review comment at @apps/server/src/vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts at line 2558:
Update the conflict-check handling before `check.stdout` is split into `reports`: if `check.stdoutTruncated` is true, fail the commit through the existing error path instead of parsing the incomplete output. Preserve the current report parsing when the output is complete.

🟡 Medium vcs/GitVcsDriverCore.ts:2563

A commit with many unmerged files and diagnostic lines can synchronously stall the server because this rescans all of reports and allocates via flatMap for every file, giving O(unmerged files × diagnostic lines) work. Parse the diagnostics into a per-file map once before this loop.

Handle filenames containing newlines in conflict reports.

For an unmerged file named a\nb, the NUL-delimited unmergedPaths entry remains intact. A raw git diff --check report contains the newline in its filename, so reports = check.stdout.split("\n") breaks the report and this match fails. The guard can then stage and commit the unresolved file. Use a path-safe check rather than parsing line-delimited diagnostics. Git’s inspected implementation prints the filename directly in this diagnostic. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the conflict-report check around `reports` and `match` to detect leftover conflict markers without splitting Git’s filename-bearing diagnostics on newlines; use a path-safe check that handles filenames containing newlines. Preserve the NUL-delimited `unmergedPaths` entries and ensure an unresolved file cannot proceed to staging or commit.

Reject a reported opening or closing boundary on its own.

If a user removes >>>>>>> but leaves <<<<<<< HEAD and =======, git diff --check reports the opening boundary. This condition still returns false, and git add -A can commit the incomplete conflict. Reject either reported angle-bracket boundary while continuing to permit a lone =======. Git identifies the angle-bracket lines as conflict markers. (git-scm.com)

Update the conflict-marker check that populates conflicted so it rejects a file when either opening or closing angle-bracket boundary is reported, rather than requiring both. Continue allowing a lone reported `=======` marker.

Bound the conflicted-path list in the error.

A merge with many conflicted paths puts the entire list in GitCommandError.detail and its user-facing message. Limit the displayed paths and include a count for the remainder. As per coding guidelines, “Attributes and log annotations stay bounded.” As per path instructions, “keep exposed attributes and messages bounded.”
