What does it mean that schema conflict resolution?

When two schemas contradict you need a meta-schema for deciding which to trust.

Example: You believe 'move fast and break things' and you also believe 'measure twice, cut once.' On Monday you ship a half-baked feature and break production. On Friday you spend three days polishing a spec nobody reads. Neither schema is wrong — you're applying each one without a rule for choosing between them. The meta-schema you're missing isn't a third belief. It's a conflict-resolution protocol: when stakes are reversible, move fast; when stakes are irreversible, measure twice.

Try this: Identify two schemas you hold that have recently contradicted each other — they might sound like competing proverbs, opposing instincts, or clashing advice you've internalized from different mentors. Write each one as a clear declarative statement. Then write a third statement: the rule for when each one should govern. If you can't write that third statement, you've found an active, unresolved schema conflict.
