description	How to decide true duplicates vs related issues for webdriverio/webdriverio. Use before closing any issue as duplicate or commenting "Duplicate of #N".

WDIO duplicate check

Follow the repo skill webdriverio-webdriverio and especially recurring-themes.md.

Checklist

1. Extract unique error strings, API names, and version pins from the issue.
2. Search with cluster keywords from recurring themes, then quoted errors.
3. Compare: same root cause? same stack? same package? same major version line?
4. Prefer linking fixed-but-unreleased issues over new duplicates.
5. Confidence:
   • High → Duplicate of #N + close (--reason duplicate)
   • Medium → “Can this be a duplicate of #N?” / “possible duplicate” — leave open
   • Low → optional related link only
6. If the new issue is the better tracker, keep it and point the older issue here (“in favor of”) instead of closing the better report.

Duplicate of #N

We are working on a resolution to this.

Closing this one in favor of #N

It should already be fixed by #N, just not released yet.
