# Note Merge

Folding a subset of the Notes queue into the model. The operator/agent selects notes, picks
how to **combine** them — *Concatenate* (verbatim under headings, no LLM; the default for a single note) or
*Synthesise* (an LLM weaves them into one document; the default for many) — and a **destination**: *Extend
domain* (stage the merged chunk as a `source: 'daily-log'` SourceFile that runs the convert → reconcile →
Apply pipeline) or *Generate arc* (hand the chunk to generation as the next arc's direction). Merged notes
lock and move to **Historical** (auditable via each note's `mergedInto` refs), leaving the queue the moment
the process starts. Distinct from the belief-layer **Merge** (committed Streams folded into continuity,
above): a *Note Merge* combines raw ingest, a *Merge* commits scored stances. Driven from the desktop **Merge**
modal or headless via the `merge-notes` operation (feed the queue with `generate-note`; read it with
`read-notes`).
