 ### Added
 
 - Phase 2 refine pass: after Phase 1 resolves conflict markers, the AI can return `followUpInstructions` that trigger a second agentic loop applying targeted intra-file edits via the `edit_file_lines` tool.

 - New `ConflictProgressEvent` variants: `resolver:response`, `resolver:tool-result`, `refine:started`, `refine:skipped`, `refine:tool-call`, `refine:tool-result`, `refine:final-text`, `refine:completed`, `refine:failed`, `edit:discarded`.
 - Exported `UnmergedReason` type; `UnmergedEntry.reason` narrowed from `string` to `UnmergedReason`.
 - `conflict:skipped` progress event variant gained an optional `entryReason?: string` field.
+- Shared `Issue { severity: 'error' | 'warning'; message }` type, exported from the package root and used across the verifier port, chunk validation, and resolutions.
+- `verification:issues` progress event.
+- `Resolution.issues` carries advisory warning-severity issues from the accepted verification; error-severity issues drive the resolver retry loop.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Breaking**: `VerificationResult` and `ValidationResult` replace `feedback` with `issues?: Issue[]`. Verifier implementations must return `issues: Issue[]` instead of `feedback`.
