Closes the second implementation ADR 0011 said would not exist.

The problem

engine._unambiguous_claims and family/installed._ambiguous_bases both decide virtual-chassis
claim ambiguity with the same two-sided rule: a template claiming more than one label, or a label
claimed by more than one template, disqualifies everything involved, and the code refuses rather
than renaming a guess. They were written separately, with different data shapes and different
observability: the engine logs which templates collided, the family path is silent.

ADR 0011 states "The private helpers the engine used are deleted rather than wrapped, so no second
implementation can drift from the package". This was that second implementation.

Equivalence

The two rules look different. The family form rejects every base of a multi-base template, then
rejects bases shared between single-base templates; the engine checks both degrees directly. They
are equivalent: a base shared by a single-claim and a multi-claim template is already rejected
through the multi-claim template's own bases.

Verified exhaustively over all 4096 relations of three claimants and four labels, twice and
independently: zero mismatches.

What this change does

family/claims.py owns the rule, through immutable TemplateClaim values and
resolve_template_claims, exported at the package seam. It uses only the standard library, and
discovers nothing.

The primitive builds the collision messages but does not log them. Wording is central so the two
call paths cannot drift; emission stays with the caller so the engine keeps the logger source
operators can filter on.

The engine keeps what is genuinely its own: regex matching, comparison forms, exact-name precedence,
forced-base ordering and the :0 preference. Its admission guard stays at the same point in
_collect_unrenamed, before interfaces that intend one family collapse, as ADR 0011 requires.

Scope

Increment 1 adopts the primitive in the engine only. Installed-family adoption follows.
_singly_claimed is a different rule, counting member primary keys across complete family
candidates, and is untouched.

Verification

957 passed, 16 skipped, coverage 98.02%. The 27 existing drift tests pass unchanged.

The existing ambiguity tests assert on the plugin-level logger, so they cannot see which logger
emitted. A new test asserts the engine's own logger still emits; moving the warning to
family.claims fails it while those two tests still pass.

test_family_dependency_direction.py and test_module_boundaries.py pass unchanged, with no new
permitted-exception entry. The dependency test asserts an exact allow-list, which is why the
primitive lives inside the family package rather than beside it.

Walkthrough

The family package now provides immutable template claims and a shared ambiguity resolver. The engine uses this resolver for interface-name claims, logs returned collision messages, and preserves existing drift behavior. Tests cover resolver contracts and engine diagnostics.

Changes

Template Claim Ambiguity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Claim contract and resolution
netbox_interface_name_rules/family/claims.py, netbox_interface_name_rules/family/__init__.py, netbox_interface_name_rules/tests/test_family_claims.py
Adds immutable TemplateClaim values and resolve_template_claims. The resolver validates inputs, deduplicates labels, rejects ambiguous claims, preserves claimant order, and returns collision messages.
Engine ambiguity integration
netbox_interface_name_rules/engine.py, netbox_interface_name_rules/tests/test_vc_drift.py, docs/adr/0013-centralize-template-claim-ambiguity.md
Updates engine claim admission to use the family resolver and log its messages. Adds drift-warning coverage and documents the centralized contract and adoption plan.

Add immutable template claims and a standard-library resolver in the family
package. Count duplicate edges once and reject duplicate claimant IDs.
Return accepted pairs in input claimant order and render collision messages
without logging.

Make the engine delegate admission and emit warnings through its own logger.
Keep discovery and the guard before family collapse unchanged. Record the
seam in ADR 0013. Leave installed-family adoption for increment 2.

Add nine primitive tests and an engine logger regression test. Confirm the
new API tests fail before implementation. Confirm the logger test fails
when warnings use the family claims logger.

Validation: 957 tests and 298 subtests passed, 16 tests skipped.
Coverage is 98.02%. Ruff check and format gates pass.
Copy labels into a tuple so later changes to an input list cannot change the claim. Confirm the list-input regression fails before the fix.

Describe the duplicated uniqueness rule as the problem in ADR 0013. Keep the two adoption increments unchanged.
