Two rows can claim one record. `cust-wp-0010` claimed CUST-WP-0010 by its own
identifier while `workstream-lifecycle-documentation` claimed it by path, both
pointing at that workplan's file; `kont-wp-0013` and
`KONT-WP-0013-blob-storage-content-streaming` did the same. Assigning into
`matched` unconditionally let whichever row came last win and dropped the other
silently — never matched, so never stale, so never reported by any pass. It was
also order-dependent, so which row survived depended on row iteration order.
Claims are now ranked: derived UUID, then the record's own identifier, then
backing path, then prefix heuristic. The strongest wins and the loser is
displaced into `stale`, which makes it a retirement candidate rather than
invisible. Ranking is order-independent, verified both ways round.
Under ADR-007 the identifier is the identity, so the row naming the record wins
and its stale title and path are repaired from the file; the hub-first row that
never held the identifier retires with its history intact.
751 pass.
