Proposed fix: [Django migrations] 'Conflicting migrations detected; multiple leaf nodes in the migration graph' after merging branches — run makemigrations --merge
Recommended action: Run 'python manage.py makemigrations --merge' (review the generated merge migration), or renumber/rebase one migration onto the other if it hasn't been applied anywhere.
Option: Create a merge migration [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Diverged app migrations
Steps:
1. python manage.py makemigrations --merge
2. Review and commit the merge file
3. python manage.py migrate
Expected: Single leaf; migrate runs
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
