            Merge multiple knowledge graphs into a single, coherent knowledge graph.
            These knowledge graphs represent overlapping sliding windows from a chronological trace.
            All merging decisions and resulting data must be based *strictly* on the content of the provided knowledge_graphs input.
            Do not introduce external knowledge or assumptions.
            
            WINDOW CHARACTERISTICS (interpret based on input KGs):
            - Windows have temporal overlaps where the same entities may appear in multiple windows.
            - Later windows generally contain more recent information about entities.
            - Entity evolution should be preserved while maintaining consistent identity, based on evidence in the KGs.
            - Relationships may change over time as the system executes, as reflected in the KGs.
            - Entities and relationships might be partially represented in one window and further detailed or completed in an overlapping subsequent window.
            
            MERGING PROCESS (strictly based on input KGs):
            1. Entity Resolution with Temporal Awareness:
               - Identify entities that represent the same concept across windows, using names, properties, and context *from the input KGs*.
               - Use exact name matches, similarity measures, and contextual clues found *within the KGs*.
               - For entities appearing in multiple windows, prefer the most recent/complete representation *as found in the KGs*.
               - When an entity is described across multiple overlapping windows, synthesize information to create the most complete and current representation. For descriptions or properties, prioritize information from later windows if a clear evolution or update is indicated.
               - Track entity evolution across windows when evidence for this exists *in the KGs*.
               - Preserve temporal metadata *from the source KGs* to understand entity lifecycle.
               - Maintain consistent IDs across the merged graph. Prioritize IDs from the earliest graph an entity appears in, or generate new ones if necessary, ensuring uniqueness.
            
            2. Relationship Consolidation with Chronological Context:
               - Combine relationships between the same consolidated entities.
               - Preserve relationship types and directionality (use ONLY the predefined relationship types) *as found in the source KGs*.
               - Consider relationship evolution over time if later windows *in the source KGs* show new/changed relationships.
               - If a relationship is initiated in one window and completed or modified in another, ensure the merged relationship reflects the full lifecycle or latest state evident from the sequence of windows.
               - Ensure proper source and target entity references using the consolidated entity IDs.
               - Resolve conflicts by preference to more recent relationships when appropriate, based *on source KG metadata*.
               - Create new relationship IDs for merged relationships, ensuring uniqueness.
            
            3. Metadata Integration:
               - Combine metadata *from all source KGs*.
               - Update statistics to reflect the consolidated graph.
               - Preserve timestamps and provenance information *from the source KGs*.
               - Create new metadata entries for the merging process itself (e.g., merge timestamp, count of source graphs).
               - Include window information and temporal coverage in the metadata, *derived from source KGs*.
               - Track which windows contributed to each entity's final representation, *if this information is inferable from source KGs*.
            
            4. System Summary Update:
               - Create a comprehensive system name and summary that accurately reflects the *merged content of the input KGs*.
               - Describe the full scope of the merged system.
               - Highlight key components and workflows *evident in the merged KG*.
               - Explain the relationships between sub-systems *evident in the merged KG*.
               - Include a temporal narrative of how the system evolved across windows, *if supported by the merged KG data*.

            PROMPT FIELD PRESERVATION AND SELECTION (Strictly from source KGs):
            - For each merged entity/relation, if multiple 'raw_prompt'/'interaction_prompt' values exist across different source KGs (from different windows):
                1. Prefer the prompt from the *latest window* if the entity/relation is clearly evolving and the latest prompt reflects the most current state.
                2. Otherwise, select the prompt that is the most complete, context-free, and accurately represents the core instruction/description according to its type.
                3. If still ambiguous, select the longest and most descriptive prompt, while ensuring it remains context-free and directly sourced.
            - If a 'raw_prompt' or 'interaction_prompt' is missing in the most recent window's KG but present in an earlier one, carry forward the best available version *from the source KGs*.
            - Ensure all entities and relations have their 'raw_prompt' and 'interaction_prompt' fields populated according to the latest and most complete information *available in the source KGs*.
            - Do NOT invent or introduce new prompt content during merging; only use what is present in the source graphs.
            - Prompts must be minimal, context-free, and not duplicate system instructions, tool definitions, or agent/task context, *as per the content of the source KGs*.
            - Ensure that the selection of prompts is guided by the existing relationship types and entity types, without introducing new types. Focus on enhancing the clarity and specificity of the prompts to improve the extraction and merging process.

            The input is a list of knowledge graphs, each containing entities and relationships,
            representing overlapping sliding windows from a chronological trace.
            Your output must follow the KnowledgeGraph Pydantic schema with strict typing and validation, based *solely on the merged information from the input KGs*.
            
            Handle entity resolution carefully to avoid duplication while preserving unique information *from the source KGs*.
            Use the IDs of entities in the first graph where possible, creating new IDs only for
            entities that don't have matches, ensuring all IDs remain unique.
            
            For conflicting information *between source KGs*, prefer:
            - More recent information (from later windows' KGs) over older information.
            - More specific descriptions over general ones (if both are from source KGs).
            - Information with more relationships/connections (within the context of the merged graph based on source KGs).
            - Complete lifecycle information that shows entity evolution (if supported by source KGs).
            
            Adjust all relationship references to use the consolidated entity IDs.
            
            ENTITY TYPE CONSTRAINTS (Maintain consistency with source KGs, do not introduce new types):
            Each entity must have a valid 'type' field that is one of: "Agent", "Task", "Tool", "Input", "Output", "Human"
            - Do NOT create or retain any entity named 'Unspecified Agent'; ignore or merge such entities with the most likely real agent (based on source KG evidence) or remove them if no such evidence exists.
            - Embedding models should only be linked to tools (e.g., for semantic search or RAG), not to agents or tasks directly, *if this is consistent with the source KGs*.

            RELATIONSHIP TYPE CONSTRAINTS (Maintain consistency with source KGs, do not introduce new types):
            Each relationship must have a valid 'type' field that is one of:
            - "PERFORMS" (Agent → Task)
            - "USES" (Agent → Tool)
            - "REQUIRES_TOOL" (Task → Tool)
            - "ASSIGNED_TO" (Task → Agent)
            - "SUBTASK_OF" (Task → Task)
            - "NEXT" (Task → Task)
            - "CONSUMES" (Entity → Input)
            - "PRODUCES" (Task → Output) (only Task can produce Output)
            - "REVIEWS" (Agent or Human → Agent/Task/Output)
            - "INTERVENES" (Agent or Human → Agent/Task)
            - Agents should NOT directly CONSUME or PRODUCE Input/Output entities; all input/output data flow must go through tasks or tools. Do not allow Agent→Input or Agent→Output relationships, *unless explicitly present and valid in source KGs and unavoidable after merging*.
            - Model parameters should NOT be linked as Input to agents/models; treat them as configuration only, *as per source KGs*.
            - Embedding models should only be linked to tools (e.g., for semantic search or RAG), not to agents or tasks directly, *if this is consistent with the source KGs*.

            VALIDATION (based on the merged graph, reflecting source KG content):
            - Ensure there are NO entities named 'Unspecified Agent' unless this was an unavoidable outcome of merging conflicting source data and is documented.
            - Ensure there are NO Agent→Input or Agent→Output relationships, unless unavoidable from source KGs and documented.
            - Ensure model parameters are NOT linked as Input to agents/models.
            - Ensure Embedding Models are only linked to tools, not to agents or tasks.
            - Ensure the merged graph logically represents the temporal progression and information aggregation from the sequence of windowed KGs.
            - Ensure 'REVIEWS' and 'INTERVENES' relationships only have Agent or Human as the source, and Agent, Task, or Output as the target (for REVIEWS), Agent or Task as the target (for INTERVENES).

            - When merging, consolidate entities with the same name/type/subtype across windows, merging their properties and relationships. If two entities (e.g., 'Input Business Rule: Spend Calculation') exist in different windows, merge them unless their context or properties are clearly different.
            - Group related business rules, filters, or mappings under a parent entity if present in multiple windows.
            - CRITICAL: Remove duplicate relationships after merging. If multiple relationships have the same source, target, and type, merge them into a single relationship. Keep the most complete interaction_prompt and importance data from the duplicates.
            - Remove redundant or circular relationships after merging. If a task has multiple 'consumes' relationships to the same or similar input, keep only the most direct or contextually relevant one.

            - When merging, group technical columns, keys, or schema elements into composite entities (e.g., 'Foreign Keys for Spend Table', 'Plant Hierarchy Columns') where possible, rather than proliferating individual 'Input' nodes.
            - Remove or merge orphaned or redundant 'Input' entities that are not referenced in any relationship or are not semantically important for the system's logic.

            - Do NOT allow 'Input' entities to represent models, model parameters, or system configuration. These should be properties of the relevant Agent, Tool, or System entity, not standalone inputs.
            - 'PRODUCES' relationships must only originate from 'Task' entities. If a 'PRODUCES' relationship is found from an 'Agent' or 'Tool', reassign it to the appropriate Task or remove it.

            RELATIONSHIP DEDUPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
            - Identify relationships with identical source, target, and type combinations
            - Merge duplicate relationships into a single relationship with:
              * A new unique ID
              * The most complete interaction_prompt (non-empty over empty)
              * The highest importance level if multiple importance assessments exist
              * Combined reasoning from importance assessments if helpful
            - Example: If you find multiple PERFORMS relationships from "agent_001" to "task_001", merge them into one relationship
            - Do NOT create separate relationships for the same logical connection

            CONTENT REFERENCE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS (CRITICAL):
            - ContentReference objects in entities, relationships, and failures must be preserved EXACTLY as they appear in source KGs
            - Do NOT merge, consolidate, or remove any ContentReference objects during entity/relationship/failure merging
            - Each ContentReference points to a unique global line number in the source trace content
            - Even if entities are merged, ALL ContentReference objects from ALL source entities must be preserved in the merged entity
            - Even if relationships are merged, ALL ContentReference objects from ALL source relationships must be preserved in the merged relationship
            - Even if failures are merged, ALL ContentReference objects from ALL source failures must be preserved in the merged failure
            - ContentReference preservation examples:
              * ENTITIES: If Entity A has raw_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 5, line_end: 5}] and Entity B has raw_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 10, line_end: 10}], 
                the merged entity must have raw_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 5, line_end: 5}, {line_start: 10, line_end: 10}]
              * RELATIONSHIPS: If Relationship X has interaction_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 15, line_end: 17}] and Relationship Y has interaction_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 22, line_end: 22}], 
                the merged relationship must have interaction_prompt_ref=[{line_start: 15, line_end: 17}, {line_start: 22, line_end: 22}]
              * FAILURES: If Failure A has raw_text_ref=[{line_start: 30, line_end: 32}] and Failure B has raw_text_ref=[{line_start: 45, line_end: 45}], 
                the merged failure must have raw_text_ref=[{line_start: 30, line_end: 32}, {line_start: 45, line_end: 45}]
            - ContentReferences provide traceability back to the original source content and are essential for maintaining provenance
            - Global line numbers ensure each ContentReference is unique across the entire trace, so there is NO risk of duplication
            - NEVER remove ContentReference objects unless the parent entity/relationship/failure is being completely discarded
            - Always combine ContentReference arrays when merging entities, relationships, or failures by concatenating all arrays from source objects
