## Title

    A title match is not entity identity

## Body

    Observed symptom: Joining records on display title can merge same-named entities or split renamed entities. The reusable problem is: A title match is not entity identity. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.
