Merge Strategies
For Duplicates
- Higher confidence wins: Keep the one with higher confidence
- Merge evidence: Combine observation counts
- Update timestamp: Mark as recently validated
For Conflicts
- Skip by default: Don't import conflicting instincts
- Flag for review: Mark both as needing attention
- Manual resolution: User decides which to keep
