There is no indicator in the UI for why hitting a button fails, like how it did for this merge attempt.
On the server side, this was the output:
2025/12/10 08:04:52 ERRO knot/server/xrpc: failed to merge handler=Merge
error=
│ patch application failed: error: src/components/Post/MastodonHtmlContent.tsx: does not exist in index
│ error: src/lib/strings/html-sanitizer.ts: does not exist in index
│ hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
The invalid patch was probably accepted during the creation of the pull request, so that's also an important bug.
thanks for the detailed report on this one!
