dedup-plan-is-user-editable
IN premise
The dedup plan format uses KEEP/RETRACT markers that users can swap before applying, making deduplication decisions reviewable and overridable
Summary
When duplicate beliefs are detected, the system doesn't just silently merge them. Instead it produces a plan showing which duplicates it intends to keep and which it would retract, and the user can change those decisions before anything actually happens. This means deduplication is a collaborative process rather than an automated one, preventing the system from accidentally discarding a belief the user considers important.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- dedup-is-topology-preserving-and-auditable — Deduplication preserves network topology (rewrites both antecedent and outlist references to survivors), selects structurally-optimal survivors (most dependents with lexicographic tiebreak), and supports human oversight (KEEP/RETRACT markers in a user-editable plan format).
