The release adds an optional expectedHeadSha field to the merge tool. If another commit arrives before the merge, supplying that identifier causes the changed request to be rejected.
The implementation passes the expected identifier to the existing merge API and returns a mismatch error without retrying against the newer commit. This closes the gap between checking proposed changes and merging them, provided the caller supplies the field. Calls that omit it retain their previous behavior.
