agent failed to reparent attachments after merging two accounts

TL;DR

Attachments stayed on the losing account after the merge. Move them to the winner and add attachment handling to the merge.

Error

attachments not reparented after account merge

Steps

1. List attachments on the losing account Expected: you see what stayed.
2. Move them to the winning account Expected: they are preserved.
3. Add attachment reparenting to the merge job Expected: future merges move them.
4. Verify the next merge Expected: attachments move.

When to use

• Attachments left behind after merge
• The merge skipped them

When not to use

• The platform moved them (then check the settings)
• Files vs attachments (then handle both)

Tool compatibility

• Account merges
• File handling

Variant phrasings

attachments after merge

Move them to the winner; the merge skipped them.

reparent attachments merge

Same: add it to the merge job.

Why it happens

Files and attachments live in different objects with different merge behavior. Agents handle one and forget the other.

Edge cases

• Large files may need async moves
• Check storage limits on the winner
