Point
Search precedes Point creation
Authors inspect existing Atlas-wide candidates before introducing useful independent identity, without treating a shared subject as the same claim.

Inspect relevant ids, summaries, bodies, sources, and anchor provenance across the authorized Atlas. Compare the item's meaning and scope, not merely its technology or document. A storage choice and evidence of a rollout can concern the same subject while requiring different states.
Search produces candidates, not proof of uniqueness. Disclose access or coverage limits and leave an unresolved identity decision explicit. A repeated contribution with no new meaning needs no new record; useful additional evidence can amend the existing one. A recorded candidate inventory is an extra adopted Check requirement, not a universal edit artifact.
Identity searchCandidate inspection distinguishes repeated meaning, additional evidence, local significance, and a separately standing claim.
