+
+config-merge applies declared merge policies to line-oriented configuration files. It compares base, destination, and incoming versions by flag and argument, combining independent edits while reporting conflicting edits to singleton options. Policies are validated YAML and reference named normalizers; policy files do not execute Ruby code.

+### Compatibility
+
+Compatible with MRI Ruby 4.0.0+, JRuby, and TruffleRuby.
+CI workflows and Appraisals are generated for MRI Ruby 4.0.0+.
+This test floor is configured by `ruby.test_minimum` in `.kettle-jem.yml` and
+may be higher than the gem's runtime compatibility floor when legacy Rubies are
+not practical for the current toolchain.

+
+## ✨ Installation
+
+Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
+
+```console
+bundle add config-merge
+```
+
+If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
+
+```console
+gem install config-merge
+```
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration
+
+A policy declares how a flag is identified, whether it can repeat, and how a conflict is handled. The bundled RSpec policy treats `--require` as a singleton option owned by the destination and merges repeatable options such as `--env` as separate records.
+
+```yaml
+name: rspec
+format: flag_file
+defaults:
+  cardinality: repeatable
+  on_conflict: conflict
+flags:
+  --require:
+    cardinality: single
+    on_conflict: ours
+  --env:
+    cardinality: repeatable
+    on_conflict: union
+```
+
+Undeclared flags default to unresolved conflicts; repeatable flags can explicitly opt into union. Normalizers affect comparison only; rendering retains the option values from the selected source records. YAML is loaded with safe parsing, and unknown fields or normalizer names are rejected.
+
+## 🔧 Basic Usage
+
+```ruby
+require "config/merge"
+
+policy = Config::Merge::BuiltInPolicies.fetch(:rspec)
+result = Config::Merge::FlagFile::ThreeWayMerger.new(
+  base: File.read(".rspec.base"),
+  ours: File.read(".rspec"),
+  theirs: File.read(".rspec.incoming"),
+  policy: policy
+).merge
+
+if result.success?
+  File.write(".rspec", result.output)
+else
+  warn "Unresolved option conflicts: #{result.conflicts.map(&:flag).join(', ')}"
+end
+```
+
+The RSpec policy preserves a destination-specific `--require rails_helper` while accepting independent template additions. `result.output` is `nil` when any conflict remains; `result.partial_output` contains the non-conflicting records for inspection.
+
+ProviderAdapter also delegates structural formats to existing ast-merge providers. Install the format provider separately; this example uses psych-merge:
+
+    require "config/merge"
+    require "psych/merge"
+
+    adapter = Config::Merge::ProviderAdapter.new(
+      family: :yaml, dialect: :yaml, backend: :psych, profile_id: :source_preserving
+    )
+    result = adapter.merge3(base: base_yaml, ours: destination_yaml, theirs: template_yaml)
+
+It returns the provider result unchanged, including diagnostics and source-preservation verification.

+
+If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage,
+check [issues][🤝gh-issues] or [PRs][🤝gh-pulls], or use the gem and think about how it could be better.

+We [![Keep A Changelog][📗keep-changelog-img]][📗keep-changelog] so if you make changes, remember to update it.

+
+## 📌 Versioning
+
+This library follows [![Semantic Versioning 2.0.0][📌semver-img]][📌semver] for its public API where practical.
+For most applications, prefer the [Pessimistic Version Constraint][📌pvc] with two digits of precision.
+
+For example:
+
+```ruby
+spec.add_dependency("config-merge", "~> 7.0")
+```
+
+<details markdown="1">
+<summary>📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API? More details inside.</summary>
+
+Dropping support for a platform can be a breaking change for affected users.
+If a release changes supported platforms, it should be called out clearly in the changelog and versioned with that impact in mind.
+
+To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime,
+read this article from the creator of SemVer:
