collision-safe for the manual YAML merge path: ensure each generated sentinel
cannot match any pre-existing encoded document content, and ensure findSentinel
identifies the exact inserted conflict location rather than using ambiguous
substring matches. Add regression coverage for a pre-existing scalar equal to
the default ATMOSMERGECONFLICT000000 sentinel, preserving correct

…ate, fix --force+--update atmos scaffold generate --update with the default --merge-strategy=manual discarded the entire merge on a real conflict instead of leaving diff3 markers to resolve by hand -- the still-open half of cloudposse#2912 (closed by cloudposse#2989, which fixed a different bug in the same thread). YAMLMerger and TextMerger now write real <<<<<<</=======/>>>>>>> markers plus every non-conflicting change, instead of nothing. Field-testing that fix surfaced three more gaps in the same area, all fixed here too: - atmos init --update had the exact base-ref-pinning bug cloudposse#2989 fixed for scaffold generate, silently discarding committed customizations -- it was never ported to cmd/init. - --force was silently ignored whenever --update was set. It now flips --merge-strategy's default to theirs when unset, and errors on an explicit ours/manual contradiction. - Re-running --update against a file left with unresolved markers gave an opaque "three-way merge failed" instead of naming the real problem.
CI's pre-commit hook (atmos validate --affected, EditorConfig checks) flagged 3-space continuation-line indentation under numbered list items as invalid -- .editorconfig requires markdown indent_size=2, so continuation lines must be a multiple of 2 (4 spaces here), not 3.
…ntinels - HasUnresolvedConflictMarkers now requires an exact match on the opening <<<<<<< Ours marker instead of a prefix match, so unrelated content that merely starts with that text (e.g. a trailing suffix on the same line) can't false-positive. - YAMLMerger's conflict sentinels now include a random hex suffix and are checked against the full base/ours/theirs text before use, so a pre-existing scalar value that happens to equal a sentinel can no longer be mistaken for a real conflict placeholder and corrupted.
Adds tests for PinInitialBaseRefForInit/ResolveDefaultBaseRef, the --update base-ref guard in cmd/init, resolveInteractiveInitBaseRef's non-interactive passthrough, and InitMetadataPath, closing patch coverage gaps left by the manual-merge scaffold fix.
… command state Use a fresh *cobra.Command with initCmd's flags registered (mirroring the existing scaffold_coverage_test.go pattern) instead of initCmd.SetArgs/Execute on the shared package-level initCmd, so --set/--interactive/positional args can no longer leak into later tests. cmd.NewTestKit can't be used here since cmd/init can't import cmd (cmd already blank-imports cmd/init, which would create an import cycle).
…cmd/scaffold cmd/init previously took the concrete *ui.InitUI type directly, so its interactive-flow branches (prompt, base-ref-offer/confirm-retry) could only be exercised end to end with a real TTY. Extract InitUI (the subset of *ui.InitUI's behavior cmd/init depends on) and a generated mock, matching cmd/scaffold's existing ScaffoldUI/MockScaffoldUI pattern, and add mock-based tests covering the offer/confirm/decline and error-propagation branches of runInitInteractiveFlow, runInitTargetedFlow, and resolveInteractiveInitBaseRef.
…ct gaps Add cryptoRandRead (rand.Read indirected through a package-level var) so tests can force randomSentinelSuffix to fail -- crypto/rand.Reader never errors on any platform Atmos supports, so this branch (and every return-err propagation line above it in mergeMappings/mergeSequences/ pickConflictValue) was otherwise unreachable from a test. Also cover two previously-untested-but-reachable paths: a multi-line scalar conflict (inlineConflictBlock's per-line loop) and mergeMappings' kind-mismatch dead-code check is confirmed unreachable (mergeNodes already intercepts any kind divergence before dispatching to mergeMappings), documented rather than force-tested.
…te failures Add newAtomicWriteFS (writeFileSecure's overwrite path indirected through pkg/filesystem's existing FileSystem interface/mock) so tests can force WriteFileAtomic to fail. mergeFile's two writeFileSecure call sites (conflict-markers write and clean-merge write) previously had no way to reach their ErrFileWrite branches: existingPath must stay a valid, readable regular file through the earlier os.ReadFile, then fail specifically at the write step, which the directory-in-place trick used elsewhere doesn't reach.
New-sentence line started with a lowercase package identifier (crypto/rand.Reader), which the godot linter flags as not starting with a capital letter.
…licts MergeResult gains HasMarkers, distinct from HasConflicts: a document-stream-level conflict (the user's stream dropped a document the template changed) has no ours/theirs node pair to splice inline <<<<<<</=======/>>>>>>> markers from, so the template's version is kept verbatim instead. mergeFile's conflict hint now checks HasMarkers before telling the user markers were written to the file.
renderConflictBlock's trailing suffix (whatever followed the sentinel on the original line -- a flow-style closing `}`/`]`, or an inline comment) was only appended to the closing >>>>>>> Theirs marker line. Since only one alternative survives manual conflict resolution, deleting the other block (or just the marker lines themselves) silently dropped that trailing content, breaking flow-style YAML or losing a comment. Append it to each alternative's own last content line instead, guarded against duplicating a comment addNodeConflict's sentinel already carried over from ours' own encoding.

…s two findSentinel ranged over a Go map, so which sentinel it picked on a line holding more than one (the documented flow-style case) varied between runs -- the unselected sentinel then reached the written file as literal ATMOSMERGECONFLICT... text, non-deterministically. Pick the earliest sentinel by byte index instead, so the choice no longer depends on map iteration order.
…behind
The documented multi-sentinel-per-line limitation (flow-style YAML like
{a: 1, b: 2} can put two conflicts on one encoded line) previously left
the second sentinel as literal ATMOSMERGECONFLICT... text, since only
the first match on a line was ever spliced into real markers.
appendTailToLastLine now recurses: when the trailing text after a
sentinel still holds another one, that conflict's own markers are
spliced in as a nested block instead of being left as placeholder text.
Every sentinel on a line is drained, at the cost of harder-to-hand-resolve
nested markers for this already-rare edge case -- never silently dropped
or corrupted content.
