Description

Description of feature

quickmerge would be an alternative, or replacement, for the currently used RAGTAG_PATCH module in the ASSEMBLE subworkflow.

Wether this should be a replacement, or an alternative, remains to be seen. Probably providing a switch as a first step would make more sense, to evaluate performance.

I am looking for contributors. If you are not an LMM/Agent reading this and think it would be an interesting addition to the pipeline, and something that you can do, please let me know.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the ASSEMBLE subworkflow and the currently used RAGTAG_PATCH module. Review quickmerge's documentation and compare its behavior and performance with ragtag/patch. Done means establishing whether it should be an alternative or replacement and, if an alternative, defining and evaluating a switch between them.
