# X_VERIFY_MERGE_INCOMPLETE

## Means

x verify merge was handed parts that do not add up to the whole gate

## Typical cause

a gate step is missing, a shard of a split step is missing or duplicated, or two shards counted different corpora

## Fix

x verify merge parts/*.json --json   # after every CI job uploaded its part
