Improvement Deduping¶
Framework improvement issues should be high signal. Duplicate creation lowers trust fast.
Deduping Rule¶
Before drafting a new issue, ORCA Framework should check:
- existing GitHub issues when access is available
- local improvement backlog entries
- ecosystem opportunities and watch docs when the item overlaps scheduled maintenance
- recent session candidates that describe the same friction
Likely Duplicate Signals¶
- same command or doc surface
- same missing capability
- same host-specific limitation
- same workaround repeated with no materially new angle
What To Do When Overlap Exists¶
- If the existing issue is still the right target, append context instead of opening a new issue.
- If the session adds materially new evidence, record that evidence and link the existing issue.
- If the overlap is partial, draft a note that explains what is new versus already tracked.
