MergePolicy reifies the rules\nthat produce a `HookMergeDiagnostic`: which decision verb wins, how\n`persistEnv` / `unsetEnv` / `contextVars` / `additionalContext` /\n`systemMessage` collapse across handlers, and what to do on protected-\nprefix or namespace conflicts. Sourced from\npackages/hooks-mux/core/src/merge-engine/merge.ts (MergeOptions,\nMergedExecutionResult).\n",
