A GitHub comment from a PR detailing the decisions made by an automated conflict resolution workflow. The comment reads Automated Branch Sync — Merge Conflicts Resolved The default branch was merged into this PR and conflicts were resolved automatically. Resolution Details app/Filament/Resources/DatabaseServers/Pages/EditDatabaseServer.php What the PR branch changed: Added the installPgvector() method between ensureFirewallRules() and getExistingFirewallPorts(). What the default branch changed: Added a @return array<int, int> docblock annotation to getExistingFirewallPorts(). Resolution: Kept both — the PR's installPgvector() method is preserved, and the docblock from main is placed directly above getExistingFirewallPorts(), after the new method. Posted by the automated branch sync workflow. Please review the conflict resolutions above to ensure they match your intent.
