+   If empty, skip this wave this round (its first item hasn't finished yet).
+
+3. **Build the cleanup-wave manifest for `mergeable`, IN THAT ORDER** — fresh
+   from each item's own PLAN.md, never from `BATCH.json`'s `planned_files`
+   alone (Open Question 2's accepted resolution). `$mergeable` is a bash
+   ARRAY (parsed from the JSON `mergeable` array) — never a plain
+   space-joined string, which re-splits unpredictably between bash and zsh
+   (#4109):
+   ```bash
+   for quick_id in "${mergeable[@]}"; do
+     PLAN_CONTENT=$(cat "${ITEM_DIR}/${quick_id}-PLAN.md")
+     ENTRY_JSON=$(gsd_run quick-batch cleanup-entry \
+       --agent-id "agent-${quick_id}" \
+       --worktree-path "$WT_PATH" \
+       --branch "$WT_BRANCH" \
+       --expected-base "$EXPECTED_BASE" \
+       --allowed-bases '["'"$EXPECTED_BASE"'"]' \
+       --plan-content "$PLAN_CONTENT" --raw)
+     # append $ENTRY_JSON to the merge manifest's "entries" array, in order
+   done
+   ```
+   (`$WT_PATH`/`$WT_BRANCH`/`$EXPECTED_BASE` per item come from the recorded
+   `$QUICK_BATCH_WORKTREE_MANIFEST` entry Step 6 wrote for that `agent_id`
+   THIS process, when present.
+
+   **Durable fallback (#3677):** for an item Step 6 did NOT dispatch this
+   process — the crash-window guard correctly skipped it because
+   `SUMMARY.md` already existed from a PRIOR, now-dead coordinator process —
+   `$QUICK_BATCH_WORKTREE_MANIFEST` has no entry for it at all (it is a
+   fresh per-process `mktemp` file). Read `$WT_PATH`/`$WT_BRANCH`/
+   `$EXPECTED_BASE` from that item's OWN durable
+   `dispatched_worktree`/`dispatched_branch`/`dispatched_base` fields in
+   `$BATCH_MANIFEST_JSON` instead — persisted by Step 6's own durable-
+   persistence step at the time it actually created the worktree, in
+   whichever process that was. If ALL THREE are still `null` (the item was
+   never durably recorded — should not happen once Step 6 always persists
+   on dispatch, but fail closed rather than guess): route this entry via
+   `merge-routing --kind merge_failed --detail "missing durable worktree
+   record"` the same as any other blocked entry below, and do NOT attempt
+   the cleanup-wave call for it.)
+
+4. **Merge, one at a time, via the SAME bounded primitive every other worktree
+   consumer uses** (never hand-roll `git merge`):
+   ```bash
+   QB_CLEANUP_RESULT=$(gsd_run query worktree.cleanup-wave --manifest "$MERGE_MANIFEST_PATH" --raw) || true
+   ```
+   `executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan` isolates each entry's failure by default
+   (a blocked entry does not stop the rest of the manifest) except the one
+   carve-out where the repo is left genuinely mid-merge, which halts the
+   remaining entries in THIS manifest — resume picks them up on the next
+   round/invocation.
+
+5. **Route each entry's result:**
+   - `status == "merged_removed"`: success. Mark the item's completion pending
+     (Step 9 calls `quick-batch complete` for it — do NOT call it here; a
+     `--validate` item still has verification ahead of it). **Clear the
+     durable worktree-recovery fields now (#3677)** — the worktree no
+     longer exists on disk, so its `dispatched_worktree`/`dispatched_branch`/
+     `dispatched_base` must not keep pointing at a removed path:
+     ```bash
+     gsd_run quick-batch update --batch "$BATCH_ID" --updates '[{"quickId":"'"$quick_id"'","dispatchedWorktree":null,"dispatchedBranch":null,"dispatchedBase":null}]'
+     ```
+   - Any other status: route via
+     ```bash
+     gsd_run quick-batch merge-routing --kind merge_failed --detail "$reason" --raw
+     ```
+     (or `--kind scope_violation` when `$reason` names an undeclared
+     deletion — `partitionDeclaredDeletions`'s own guard). The routing result
+     always carries `preserveWorktree: true` — do NOT remove the worktree or
+     branch for this item; leave it for diagnosis (row 28/34/35). Do NOT call
+     `quick-batch complete` for it. Continue with the rest of the batch (row
+     33 — unrelated items are unaffected).
+
+Continue to Step 9 (`--validate` routes through the verification step first)
+once every wave with a mergeable prefix has been processed this round.

+
+**If the planner returns `## REVISION_CONFLICT`:** a conflict is not resolvable by re-running the
+same loop, so it must not consume this item's retry budget. Do NOT increment `iteration_count`
+and do NOT re-spawn the checker yet. Present the conflict table and its alternatives to the user
+and ask which to take: adopt a named alternative / override the named constraint and apply the
+hint / amend the constraint itself. Every option resolves the conflict. Accepting the plan with
+the blocker still open is NOT offered here — the blocking `required_property` still fails, and
+that choice belongs to the iteration-exhaustion escalation below, unchanged.
+
+A quick-batch item has no REVIEWS.md and no phase, so `workflow.plan_review_convergence` has
+nothing to arbitrate over here; the user is the only route. Re-spawn the planner with the chosen
+resolution, then re-evaluate its return from the top of this handler — do not fall through to the
+checker spawn below. A second conflict is still a conflict, not a revised plan.
+
+**Bounded:** a conflict naming the SAME `required_property` twice in a row, or the THIRD conflict
+return of this loop whatever property it names, is a stall — alternating property names would
+otherwise never trip the repeat rule and the path would be unbounded. Route it to the same
+iteration-exhaustion escalation below rather than re-spawning further.
+
+**Otherwise (the planner returns a revised plan, not `## REVISION_CONFLICT`):** spawn the checker
+again for this item, increment `iteration_count`.
+
+**At iteration >= 2 with issues remaining (or a stalled conflict, above):** do NOT block the whole batch.
+Display the remaining issues for this item and offer: 1) force-proceed with
+this item as-is, 2) mark this item `failed` (`failure_reason`: "plan-checker
+issues unresolved after 2 iterations") and continue with the rest of the
+batch — one item's unresolved plan-check does not block unrelated items (row
+33).
