⚡ Super Quick Start

If you just want to fix it now:

cd /path/to/your/local/Server/repo
git checkout copilot/sub-pr-39
git fetch origin
git rebase origin/fix/buff-suppression-pet-restore
git rebase --skip  # When you see the conflict
git push --force-with-lease origin copilot/sub-pr-39

Then check: https://github.com/Valorith/Server/pull/40

---

❓ Why This Happened

The base branch (fix/buff-suppression-pet-restore) was updated with fixes that were originally in your PR. Now those commits are redundant and causing conflicts.

Your PR had:

• Validation fix (return false; → return;)
• Merge conflict resolution
• Levitate restoration ← This is what we keep
• Initial plan

Base branch now has:

• Validation fix (already done!)
• Nimbus restoration (already done!)

After rebase, your PR will have:

• Levitate restoration ← Only this!
• Initial plan

---

✅ Expected Result

After following the guide:

• PR #40 shows "No conflicts with base branch"
• Only 2 commits in the PR
• Changes show only the Levitate feature
• Ready to merge!

📊 Impact

What Changes:

• Number of commits: 4 → 2
• Merge status: Conflicting → Clean
• Changes: Validation + Nimbus + Levitate → Levitate only

What Stays the Same:

• Your Levitate restoration code
• The functionality being added
• The PR goal and description

What's Different:

• Cleaner commit history
• No redundant commits
• Inherited features from base branch

---

🔍 Files Modified

The rebase only affects Git history. Your code changes remain:

• zone/spell_effects.cpp (lines 4722-4735)

The validation and nimbus changes are still there - they're just inherited from the base branch now instead of being in your commits.
