deck file merge

Merge multiple decK files into one.

The files can be in either JSON or YAML format. Merges all top-level arrays by concatenating them. Any other keys are copied. The files are processed in the order provided.

Doesn’t perform any checks on content, e.g. duplicates, or any validations.

If the input files are not compatible, returns an error. Compatibility is determined by the _transform and _format_version fields.
