Active work conflict

What it means

Another person already has work in progress on the branch you named, so your work cannot be declared there. fremforge never takes over someone else’s work.

Example detail messages returned with this error:

• alice already has work in progress on feat/limit. Pick another branch.

What to do

Declare your work again without branch to get a branch suggested from your login and the title, or name a branch of your own. If it is the same work, talk to the other person first: find_related_work shows what they are doing.

Response shape

All fremforge API errors are RFC 9457 problem+json:

{
  "type": "https://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/active-work-conflict",
  "title": "Conflict",
  "status": 409,
  "detail": "..."
}

Branch on type, not on title or detail - those are human-readable and may be reworded.
