Field note / File reconciliation
The same content can arrive through different senders and threads.
What breaks
Resolve the file with its client, period and intended surviving work item. Preserve the original thread, owner and reviewer-approved mapping. Deduplication is a reconciliation decision, not only a hash comparison.
Challenge the fix
The same file bytes may belong to different reporting contexts; do not merge those blindly.
Worked example · fictional records
File hash H-4 · client A · March
Evidence to inspect
Two senders deliver the same file for the same client and period.
What would establish the fix
Inspect one surviving work item, approved field mapping, original thread and assigned owner.
Counterexample
The same bytes for another client or period may represent a different job.
This example explains the check. It does not report a customer result or a completed production run.
