Alias Resolution

Detect when two concept pages refer to the same thing under different names. Merge into canonical page.

Tool

vault_search + CC file operations + vault_add_edge

Protocol

1. Search vault for the concept name and common synonyms
2. If multiple pages cover the same concept: choose canonical name
3. Merge content from duplicate into canonical page
4. Redirect all edges from duplicate to canonical
5. Inline wikilinks: After edge redirection, ensure the canonical page body contains [[dir/slug]] for all targets (dir/slug = target path minus .md). Place inline at semantically relevant locations. Skip if already present.
6. Delete duplicate page
7. Update index

HARD-GATE

Before merging, verify the pages truly refer to the same concept (not related but distinct concepts).

Yield

Returns: { merged: boolean, canonical: string, aliases_resolved: string[] }
