//! Cross-channel rule deduplication policy (#684).
//!
//! lean-ctx publishes its guidance through several "channels":
//!   * per-client global rule files (`~/.cursor/rules/lean-ctx.mdc`, …),
//!   * the shared project `AGENTS.md` (Cursor, Codex and other agents all
//!     auto-load it),
//!   * the MCP server `instructions` block (sent on every `initialize`).
//!
//! Several agents read more than one channel, so the *same* guidance can be
//! billed two or three times per session. This module centralises the policy
//! that decides, per client, which channel is the single canonical carrier — so
//! the writers (`compression` inject, hooks), the repair command
//! (`lean-ctx rules dedup`) and the honest accounting (`doctor overhead`) all
//! agree on one source of truth.
