The control that changes which node survives a merge was an unlabeled 16px circle whose inner dot had no background colour — it rendered as an empty ring with a border/60 outline, indistinguishable from a bullet on a dark row, with the action named only in a title tooltip. The backend has accepted an override_payload {from, to} on approve for a while, so the capability was wired end to end but effectively undiscoverable.

Replace the dot with a labelled pill (○ MAKE CANONICAL): muted at rest, primary border/tint/text on hover, plus cursor-pointer and a focus ring so it is reachable by keyboard.

Also surface when the operator has edited the proposal. approve_review dispatches the override but never persists it on the Review node, so after approval nothing records that the direction was flipped — show an inline note naming the new canonical before the merge is committed.
