The entity-level approach is a meaningful step up from line-based merging. Anyone who has dealt with a merge conflict where git splits a function signature across conflict markers knows how much context is lost at the line level. Curious how this handles languages with significant whitespace like Python, where indentation changes can shift the semantic meaning of entire blocks.

Thanks for commenting, Good question. Python was one of the trickier ones to get right. Tree-sitter parses the full AST including indentation structure, so weave knows that an indented block belongs to its parent class or function. When merging, it matches entities by name and reconstructs with the original indentation preserved.

We also handle Python class merge specifically: if both sides add different methods to the same class, weave merges them as separate inner entities rather than treating the whole class as one conflicting block. The indentation is derived from the AST structure, not from line diffing, so it can't accidentally shift a method out of its class scope.
