<purpose>
After a GSD update wipes and reinstalls files, this command merges user's previously saved local modifications back into the new version. Uses three-way comparison (pristine baseline, user-modified backup, newly installed version) to reliably distinguish user customizations from version drift.

**Critical invariant:** Every file in `gsd-local-patches/` was backed up because the installer's hash comparison detected it was modified. The workflow must NEVER conclude "no custom content" for any backed-up file — that is a logical contradiction. When in doubt, classify as CONFLICT requiring user review, not SKIP.
