+**Snapshot prior approvals before merging.** If `context/requirements.json` already exists (this is a re-dispatch — §5.1 bounce-return or §5.2 writer-redispatch), read its current `groups[].requirements[]` and `groups[].safeAssumptions[]` and build an in-memory **approval map**: for every item where `status === 'approved'` AND `userNotes` is empty/absent, record `contentKey(item) → true`. The content key is the SHA-256 of the canonical-JSON `{title, ears}` after normalizing every string with `trim()` + collapse runs of whitespace to a single space. Items with `status: 'draft'`/`'rejected'` or non-empty `userNotes` are NOT added — the re-dispatch was triggered by their unresolved state, and the writer is meant to revisit them.

+**Merge.** Replace `groups` entirely with the new chunk; preserve `meta`. Set `meta.stage = 'stage-2-in-progress'`. Then walk the new `groups[].requirements[]` and `groups[].safeAssumptions[]`: for each item, compute its content key; if the approval map contains it, set `status = 'approved'` and clear `userNotes`. Otherwise leave whatever the writer emitted untouched. Delete the chunk file.
+
+Carry-over rationale: when the writer re-extracts a requirement whose wording matches a prior approval, re-asking the human is wasted motion. When wording drifts the keys diverge naturally, so the approval doesn't carry and the human reviews the new text. The approval map is not consulted on a fresh Stage 2 entry (no prior `requirements.json`).
