Phase 3: Cross-repo dedup for shared concerns #308

Description

@kai-linux

Goal

Extend dedup to be cross-repo for inherently shared concerns like "bump X dependency" or "propagate new audit-trail usage". Instead of filing N identical issues (one per affected repo), file a single tracking issue and attach per-repo concerns as comments.

Success Criteria

  • Groomer checks cross-repo when finding carries cross_repo_scope: true hint (set by detector)
  • Match by stable concern_id (e.g., dep-bump:sqlalchemy:2.0.x) using semantic dedup infrastructure from Phase 1
  • If same logical concern already has open issue in another repo, new finding is attached as comment to tracking issue rather than filed separately
  • Operator override available via /dedup-split <issue> if per-repo work is actually needed
  • Integration tested: verify that dependency bump across 3 repos produces 1 tracking issue with 3 comments, not 3 separate issues

Constraints

  • Depends on Phase 1 semantic dedup infrastructure (concern_id matching, similarity scoring)
  • Prefer minimal diffs — extend Phase 1 logic rather than forking dedup code
