+## Auto-Rebase on Conflict
+
+When a reviewer reports `merge_status: "conflict"`, the pool supervisor
+attempts to rebase the PR branch onto the latest master before giving up.
+The implementing agent has already exited after PR creation, so nobody else
+will perform this rebase.
+
+```
+def attempt_rebase(pr_number):
+    pr = fetch PR #pr_number via Forgejo API
+    branch = pr.head.ref
+
+    cd "$CLONE_DIR"
+    git fetch origin
+    git checkout <branch>
+    git rebase origin/master
+
+    if rebase succeeds (exit code 0):
+        git push origin <branch> --force-with-lease
+        if push succeeds:
+            return True
+        else:
+            git rebase --abort  # safety
+            return False
+    else:
+        git rebase --abort
+        return False
+```
+
+**Key rules for auto-rebase:**
+- Use `--force-with-lease` (not `--force`) to avoid overwriting concurrent
+  pushes from other agents.
+- If the rebase produces conflicts that cannot be auto-resolved, abort
+  immediately — do not attempt manual conflict resolution.
+- After a successful rebase + push, the PR's head SHA changes. Add the PR
+  back to `pending_merge` so the next cycle re-dispatches a reviewer to
+  attempt the merge.
+- Limit rebase attempts to **3 per PR**. If three consecutive rebases fail,
+  post a comment and stop retrying (the conflicts are too complex for
+  auto-resolution).
