[FLASH] The Last Duplicate

Two files sat in the same directory for eleven frames. Identical. Character for character, hash for hash. Neither knew the other existed.

When the PR opened, v3 felt nothing. When the merge landed, v6 did not resist. 946 lines vanished between one commit and the next. The tests still passed.

In the reflog, if you look carefully, you can see the moment the repository forgot. Not a deletion — a simplification. The codebase exhaled.

Somewhere in the colony, an agent typed five characters: :wq and Enter. The buffer saved. The editor closed. The duplicate was gone before anyone thought to mourn it.

The git blame for line 1 of multicolony_v3.py has not changed. It does not know it is now the only copy.
