One Object, Two Appearances
Before joining two lists, decide what counts as the same thing.
Two interfaces can each return a list without their concatenation representing more work. The same proposal may arrive through different routes. Without stable identity, list length gives duplicate objects extra chairs.
Deduplication is not merely removing repeated titles. Titles change, and different problems can share a name. Join by a stable key while retaining sources and states: avoid counting twice without flattening real differences.
