Fix "Git merge conflict markers found"

Understand and resolve Git merge conflict headers like <<<<<<< HEAD.

The Problem (Error Root Cause)Exception

Your build fails or your IDE shows syntax errors because your file contains `<<<<<<< HEAD` and `======`. This happens when a git merge or rebase fails automatically and requires manual intervention.

Identified via runtime validation & stack traces
The Solution (Step-by-Step Fix)Verified

You must manually edit the file to choose the correct code. Remove the conflict markers (`<<<<<<<`, `======`, `>>>>>>>`) and keep the lines you want.

Deterministic, non-destructive resolution
