Gradience reframes LoRA merge risk

Gradience's latest writeup argues that bad LoRA merges are often inventory problems before they are pairwise ones. The suggested workflow screens adapters individually, summarizes the remaining pool, and only then treats cross-neighborhood merges and deeper pairwise audits as caution layers.

// ANALYSIS

That’s the right kind of conservatism for adapter ops: the tool should narrow decisions, not invent more of them.

–Screening out adapters before merge analysis keeps obviously bad candidates from wasting attention
–Grouping adapters into local neighborhoods adds a useful middle layer, since many failures show up at cluster boundaries
–The deeper pairwise structural check sounds worthwhile, but only for ambiguous cases where the default report cannot settle the call
–The strongest takeaway is product discipline: extra diagnostics should earn promotion by changing real merge decisions
