Level 1 gains phase 5, duplicate-node detection: runs
memory_dup_detect.py (read-only) and reports clusters by verdict.
- WRITER-DEFECT (run_family): one task creating a node per run -> writer
fix, never merge (per-run nodes are the audit trail)
- SAFE-MERGE: identical bodies, still needs an explicit Kwame decision
- HUMAN-DECISION: same subject, bodies differ -> connect, never merge
Replaces the naive '>70% title overlap' duplicate rule, which false-positives
on distinct work: four client workflows (#357-#361) and two machines'
migrations (#1792/#1793) score high on titles with bodies 0.1-0.3 apart.
Also corrected in the same pass:
- the 'canonical copy' pointer named /root/.hermes/contracts/memory-fixer-v3.md,
which does not exist on kagentz (no /root access); the job's instruction set is
inline in ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json
- 'reports to Kwame via this Zulip DM' described the pre-2026-09-21 model; the
report is DROPped to the gate (comms_drop.py) and exit 0 means QUEUED, not sent
- added a Checks line so a skipped phase 5 is visible in the report
