When ingesting highlights into a personal knowledge base, searching for exact quote matches misses the entire point — the same idea gets restated differently across every source. Deduplication should match by the concept the highlight represents, then either skip (if concept already exists), append a context paragraph (if the source adds new angle), or create (if genuinely novel). This turns your highlight stream into a deduplicated idea graph instead of a quote graveyard.
