In this batch, Linear Loops appeared twice. Under the “do not skip” rule, the second entrance should still be visible to the system, but editorially it is not a new independent story. It is a same-story signal.
That duplicate is useful for the newsroom loop. If the same material arrives through different entrances, the system should increase confidence, preserve provenance, and avoid creating public repeats without a reason.
How it should work
Correct handling:
- do not lose the second entrance;
- connect it to the already resolved primary source;
- show that it belongs to the same story cluster;
- keep private discovery sources out of the public layer;
- let the editor decide whether a separate angle is needed.

A duplicate is not garbage. It is a market signal. But the public layer should turn it into context, not two identical posts.
