One thought shared once, and cards that read as cards

[Parshkov]

Three things found on one screen, /thoughts.

The duplicate — and why the obvious fix is wrong

Not a rendering fault. Production really held two sessions with the same topic, prepared four seconds apart and shared thirteen seconds apart. Each raised its own standing-search alert against the same person, so the corpus, the alerts and every count on the home screen were wrong together.

There is a UNIQUE constraint on sessions.thought_id for exactly this, and it never fires — the id ends in secrets.token_hex(4).

But that randomness is not carelessness. The store never rebinds a thought_id, even after deletion (v0.1 tombstone policy), so a content-derived id would permanently bar someone from sharing again anything they had once withdrawn. I tried it, and it does. The test proving re-sharing still works is in this commit for the next person who has the same idea.

So the id stays unique per attempt — with the reason written beside it — and duplication is answered where it belongs: as a product question, against what is live now.

_refuse_a_live_duplicate compares the reasoning itself — over labels rather than node ids (an assistant may supply ids one time and not the next), unordered (arrival order is not the reasoning) — and refuses with a sentence naming the thought already here:

this reasoning is already shared and still looking ("AI dynamically creates antenna form"), as ses-… Nothing was duplicated.

Withdraw it and you can share it again. Another person may reason the same way freely.

The cards

Grid items stretched to the tallest card in the row, and .card__actions { margin-top: auto } pushed the footer to the bottom of that borrowed height — so a short thought showed its title floating in the middle of an empty card. align-items: start. Measured after: two cards, same top, heights 323 and 864.

The structure

Every idea was printed twice — as a chip, and again inside each relation it appears in — so a cause with three effects appeared four times and the card read as a heap.

Relations are now grouped under the idea they come from, which is how a person says it: this causes that, and that, and prevents the other. The cause takes the serif the page gives its titles, effects stay sans and quieter, a hairline separates the blocks. Ideas nobody linked are listed after so they do not vanish.
