+/**
+ * source_snapshot_dedup — provenance-aware deduplication for R2 review snapshots.
+ *
+ * ## Why this exists, and why it is not a tier-lowering
+ *
+ * `dispatch_r2_reviewer` writes a review-input snapshot per branch:
+ * `agents/evidence/reviews/<slug>.review-input/{diff.patch,roadmap.md,…}`. The
+ * patch is a COPY of content that already lives in the tracked tree, so an
+ * attribution-shape finding inside it is usually the same occurrence counted a
+ * second time — and the shape ratchet is a count, so double-counting a mirror
+ * makes the number say something false in both directions.
+ *
+ * `road-to-source-silence` Phase 3.4 first removed the snapshot carve-out and
+ * proposed lowering the tier for everything under it. **The AI council refused,
+ * both seats, 2026-08-29**, and the refusal is the design constraint here: that
+ * fix asserted every snapshot finding was a mirror WITHOUT VERIFYING IT, and a
+ * diff legitimately carries deleted lines, renamed paths and preimage content
+ * that exist nowhere in the current tree. One seat chose "restore the carve-out
+ * and record the falsified premise"; the other proposed this mechanism:
+ *
+ * > exclude a snapshot finding from the ratchet ONLY when an identical
+ * > class/value occurrence is independently block-counted in the corresponding
+ * > current tracked file, leaving unique, deleted-only, malformed and
+ * > unverifiable findings at block.
+ *
+ * So every exclusion here is EARNED per finding, against the gate's own scan of
+ * the current tree. Nothing is excluded by path, by tier, or by assumption.
+ *
+ * ## The two legs, and why the weaker one is reported separately
+ *
+ * | Leg | Test | Measured 2026-08-29 |
+ * |---|---|---:|
+ * | `hunk` | identical class+value is block-counted in the file THIS hunk targets (`+++ b/<path>`) | 12 of 26 |
+ * | `tree` | identical class+value is block-counted in ANY scanned non-snapshot file — used both when the hunk target resolves to a different file and when it does not resolve at all | 14 of 26 |
+ *
+ * The literal reading of the recorded option is the `hunk` leg alone, and it
+ * accounts for less than half the mirrors: a value moves between files, or the
+ * hunk targets a generated projection whose source carries the occurrence. The
+ * `tree` leg covers those, and it is genuinely weaker — identical class+value
+ * elsewhere proves DUPLICATE PRESENCE, not provenance. Both council seats asked
+ * for exactly that distinction to stay visible, so the two counts are reported
+ * separately and every exclusion records its leg and its matched path.
+ *
+ * ## What actually fails closed — corrected after the R2 review of this branch
+ *
+ * The single necessary condition is a **positive `blockIndex` match**: an
+ * identical class+value counted at the BLOCK tier in a scanned, non-snapshot
+ * file. With no such match a finding stays at block, whatever else is true of
+ * it. That includes a value seen only at the warn tier, and it is the condition
+ * the AI council required — the mirror premise is verified per finding, never
+ * assumed.
+ *
+ * **What does NOT independently fail closed, stated because this docstring
+ * previously claimed it did.** Given a positive match, Leg 2 excludes. So a
+ * patch finding whose hunk target cannot be resolved — a `/dev/null`
+ * post-image, an unparsed header, a malformed patch — is excluded via `tree`
+ * rather than held at block, PROVIDED its value is block-counted somewhere.
+ * Measured on this branch: 10 findings take Leg 1, 42 take Leg 2 with a
+ * resolved target, **8 take Leg 2 with no resolvable target**, and 1 has no
+ * match anywhere and stays at block.
+ *
+ * That is deliberate rather than merely tolerated: those 8 carry a value the
+ * gate already counts in the current tree, so excluding them removes a DOUBLE
+ * COUNT and discloses nothing. Holding them would raise the ratchet by 8 for
+ * findings that are provably not new disclosures. The behaviour is pinned by
+ * `tests/scripts/source_snapshot_dedup.test.ts`, including a case asserting
+ * exactly this — so the contract is executable rather than prose.
+ *
+ * The ONE structural fail-closed beyond the match itself: an untracked hunk
+ * target returns `no`, because an exclusion may never cite a path that is gone.
+ *
+ * The two findings that survived this rule on first run were real: both were
+ * documentation placeholder slugs in test fixtures, fixed in
+ * `source_shape.ts`'s placeholder allowlist rather than by widening this rule.
