merge_entities.rs

1//! Handler for the `merge-entities` CLI subcommand (GAP-19).
2//!
3//! Merges two or more source entities into a single target entity by:
4//!   1. Retargeting all relationships pointing at any source to the target.
5//!   2. Deduplicating relationships that become identical after the merge
6//!      (same source_id + target_id + relation).
7//!   3. Retargeting memory_entities bindings.
8//!   4. Deleting the now-empty source entity rows.
