Regenerate Merged Rule Lists

Overview

Regenerate *Merged.list files from the sources listed in their headers and keep the metadata intact.

Workflow

• Open the target *Merged.list and read the header to identify source URLs and expected format.
• Fetch each source and merge the rules into a single list, preserving the expected order.
• Keep the header format consistent; update timestamps, counts, and source lines to match the new output.
• Ensure all rule lines use Clash classical format and keep one rule per line.

Guardrails

• Avoid manual edits to merged lists unless you are regenerating from sources.
• Do not remove or rewrite the source header format; keep it consistent across updates.

Quick checks

• Verify the first lines are the header with sources and update time.
• Spot-check a few entries to confirm correct formatting and no obvious truncation.
