March 2026: Implemented clear distinction between skipped files and errors in dry-run merge resolutions for facebook/sapling, delivering improved visibility and auditability of merge outcomes. This work separates skipped from error scenarios, introduces dedicated metrics and logging, and enhances remediation paths for merge-related issues. Key deliverables include the introduction of separate counters and log fields for dry-run merges, an explicit 'skipped' outcome value, and the exposure of skip/reason and error messages in Scuba. The changes were driven by the commit 571516853f6d9d52e02cbec00d365b317243cda1 and reviewed under D97143186 with feedback from lmvasquezg. Business value: clearer operational signals during merges reduces debugging time, leads to faster resolution of issues in CI/CD, and improves quality monitoring for code integration.
