Import cancelled.

Error message

Import cancelled.

What it means

Informational warning from `paperclipai worktree import`: after collecting and displaying the merge plan, the apply step requires opts.apply plus a confirmation. When the user declines or cancels the p.confirm ('Import N issues and M comments from X into Y?'), the CLI returns before applyMergePlan — nothing was written to the target database.

Solutions

1. Re-run and confirm with 'y' to actually apply the plan.
2. Add --yes to the command for non-interactive automation (it forces confirmed = true).

When it happens

Trigger: Running worktree import with --apply in a TTY without --yes, then answering 'N' or cancelling (Ctrl-C/Escape) at the import confirmation prompt.

Common situations: Reviewing the plan counts and aborting; scripts that pass --apply but not --yes and hit the interactive prompt.
