Duplicate suppression entry

How to fix

1. Keep one suppression entry.
2. Prefer the narrowest useful scope.
3. Remove stale duplicates after merge conflict resolution.

What it means

The same suppression appears more than once.

Why it matters

Duplicates make governance review noisy and can hide which approval is current.

Common causes

• A suppression was added twice during conflict resolution.
• Multiple tools wrote the same entry.
• The same finding was suppressed at overlapping scopes.

Example bad pattern

Two identical AP-DEP-004 suppression records exist for the same file.

Example good pattern

One scoped suppression record explains the approved exception.
