# M3.6.8 — Chunk Deduplication at Ingest
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Phase | M3.6 — Reference corpora |
| Size | M — 12 days |
| Status | ⬜ Not started |
| Depends | M3.6.1 (DocCorpusSource), M3.7.7 (normalisation patterns) |
| Blocks | — |
## Goal
Detect and deduplicate near-identical chunks at ingest time. Prevents the same
error message, config snippet, or code sample from being stored 47 times from
different runs/sources.
## Approach
**Probabilistic: MinHash-based duplicate detection**
1. On each incoming chunk, compute MinHash signature (fast, space-efficient)
2. Check against seen signatures with 95% accuracy threshold
3. If match found: increment count on existing chunk, skip storage
4. If new: store chunk + signature
**Reuse from M3.7.7:** Normalisation patterns (strip_ansi, lowercase, remove
extra whitespace) ensure similar content hashes identically.
## Example
```
Run 1: npm ERR! 404 Not Found - [email protected]
→ stored as chunk #42
Run 2: npm ERR! 404 Not Found - [email protected]
→ same normalised hash → increment count on #42, don't store
Run 3: npm ERR! 404 Not Found - [email protected]
→ different package version → new chunk #43
```
## Deliverables
- `DeduplicationStore` with MinHash signatures
- Integration with rebuild pipeline
- Chunk count metadata tracking
- Database schema extension (chunk.dedup_count)
## Tests
- 4 unit tests (MinHash collision testing, normalization)
- 3 integration tests (rebuild deduplication, count tracking)
