Consolidate duplicate pending improvements and prevent repeated admission

Executive summary

The user requested a duplicate review, cleanup and prevention. Repeated external lead admission across revisions and repeated audit observations had created multiple pending records for the same work.

The reviewed cleanup identifies33 duplicate pending records while preserving active work, completed history and underlying evidence.

Work completed

Conservative identity and serialized intake

Qualified, applied and active

External duplicates match root lineage and implementation mechanism. Audit duplicates match case identity, complete prompt and exact contract. Repeated response incidents require identical prompt, query, contract, evidence sources and tool context. Titles alone never establish identity.
Deduplication runs in the same immediate SQLite transaction as admission, preventing concurrent intake from leaving two pending copies. The canonical tick also reconciles old pending duplicates.
Duplicate records move to superseded with a retained-item reference and reciprocal evidence-link events. Existing failure outcomes, raw details and historical receipts remain. No observation counts are pooled across revisions. Active builds, canaries and promotions are preserved.
A reviewed database-copy rehearsal retired32 lead/audit duplicates and was idempotent. One additional pair of response incidents matched its full execution context; the active item is retained. Differently evidenced builder-repair records stay separate.
Supervisor-owned retries are protected even while their queue state is waiting between attempts. Consolidation never redirects an active supervisor episode to a newer duplicate.

Decisions and reasoning

Remove duplicates from actionable queue states instead of deleting their evidence. Superseded records remain available as history.
Keep the100-entry source reservoir capacity; distinct supporting source observations are not automatically duplicates of a pending implementation.

Validation and evidence

Check	Status	Result
Focused queue, controller and audit tests	passed	92 focused tests passed before final extensions. Final isolated suite covers94 queue/controller/audit tests, including concurrent intake, active and waiting-supervisor protection, changed contracts, independent observations and preserved failed outcomes.
Full regression and final qualification	passed	Full restricted suite atfa98b64: 1038 passed, 11 skipped, 14 warnings in 507.08s (0:08:27). Final exact-context delta separately passed94 isolated tests and all five frozen qualification groups; the full suite was not repeated after that delta.
Live transactional cleanup and runtime identity	passed	34 duplicate pending records retired after a SQLite backup. A second cleanup made zero changes. Existing launcher activated 3eb47e75102b3e02cae8d11fb058111cb0e2ccbb and loaded revision matches checkout.
Post-cleanup live verification	passed	Live queue has zero matching duplicate groups.34 duplicates were retired, one more than the earlier rehearsal. A10-second health request timed out after restart; the subsequent request succeeded and confirmed Qwen connected and loaded=checkout=3eb47e75102b3e02cae8d11fb058111cb0e2ccbb.

Current state

34 duplicate records removed from pending queue states with linked historical evidence retained.
Atomic intake and periodic controller reconciliation now prevent duplicate pending work. Active revision 3eb47e75102b3e02cae8d11fb058111cb0e2ccbb is verified.

Next steps

After qualification, back up the live queue, consolidate duplicates transactionally, activate the prevention guards and verify the cleaned queue.
