review_task/continue_merge on a planning parent always leaves conflicts in
the tree, and the UI auto-opened the resolver on every PlanningMergeConflict
broadcast regardless of who started the merge -- so a running Claude session
resolving a unit-merge conflict could race a human editing the same shared
checkout in a resolver window neither of them asked for.
PlanningMergeOrchestrator.StartAsync now takes an externallyDriven flag (set
by ExternalMcpService's MCP-driven review_task path, left false for the UI's
ApproveReview) that rides along on the PlanningMergeConflict broadcast. The
UI only auto-opens the resolver when it's false; otherwise it shows a
persistent banner with a manual "Open resolver" button, cleared on
PlanningMergeAborted/PlanningCompleted. A new GetActiveExternalConflictsAsync
query (checked against GitService.IsMidMergeAsync rather than the in-memory
flag alone) lets the UI resync the banner on reconnect instead of trusting a
one-shot broadcast that isn't replayed after a restart.
The childless single-task conflict path was checked and needed no change --
it only broadcasts the generic TaskUpdated, never PlanningMergeConflict.
