Description
Problem
The GitHub Actions step summary reports the total conflict count (e.g., "Found 37 potential conflicts across 2 repositories") but does not indicate which conflicts are new since the last run. Users scanning the summary have no way to tell what changed without comparing to the previous run manually.
For example, a recent run on github/new-user-experience showed:
Total: 37 potential conflict(s) across 2 repo(s)
Deduplication: 6 new, 0 changed, 31 unchanged, 1 resolved
The deduplication data is in the logs but not surfaced in the step summary. Only 6 of the 37 conflicts were new, yet the summary treats them all equally.
Proposed Solution
Add a section to the step summary that highlights what changed since the last run:
- New conflicts (6) - listed prominently at the top
- Changed conflicts (0) - conflicts where the overlapping files/lines changed
- Unchanged conflicts (31) - collapsed or in a separate section
- Resolved conflicts (1) - conflicts that are no longer detected
This would let users quickly see "6 new conflicts to review" instead of having to mentally diff 37 total conflicts against the last run.
Example summary structure
## PR Conflict Report
### 🆕 6 New Conflict(s)
[table of new conflicts]
### 🔄 0 Changed Conflict(s)
### ✅ 1 Resolved Conflict(s)
[table of resolved conflicts]
<details>
<summary>31 Unchanged Conflict(s)</summary>
[table of unchanged conflicts]
</details>
Additional Context
- The deduplication module already categorizes conflicts as new/changed/unchanged/resolved
- This data is passed through as
DeduplicationResultbut the markdown writer does not use it - The step summary and output report currently just list all conflicts without differentiation
