Knowledge Base

Merge Pillars

Merges 1-20 source pillars into a published target pillar: every fact on the sources (any review status) re-files onto the target, page links carry over keeping the stronger signal, and the source pillars are then deleted. The target must be a published pillar and must not appear among the sources. Unlike the other Knowledge Base writes, retries are strict: missing source ids are rejected rather than skipped, so re-read the pillars before retrying a failed merge. Requires a website-admin API key. Also available as the MCP tool merge_pillars.
