> Duplicate person records collapse into single profiles, plus improved name and certification handling.

## Bug Fixes

### Duplicate Person Records Now Collapse

People whose profiles were split across multiple records now resolve to a single record instead of several. This usually happened when someone had two LinkedIn URLs, or conflicting job histories on the same identity.

Previously, a conflicting signal on one part of a profile could prevent an otherwise well-evidenced match from being made, leaving the same person present two or more times with different `legion_id`s.

**If you store `legion_id`, you will need to reconcile.** When duplicate records collapse, one `legion_id` survives and the others are retired. A lookup on a retired `legion_id` will no longer return a record. Re-resolve any stored ids against the current data.

This build collapsed 224,538 duplicate identities into 222,280 surviving records. Most collapses merged a single pair, and the largest merged seven records into one.

The vast majority of ids are unaffected: 186,081,935 `legion_id`s carried forward unchanged.

### Titles Recognized as Name Prefixes

Titles such as *Pastor*, *Rabbi*, *Brother* and *Imam* are now recognized as name prefixes and populated in `prefix`. Where the record also carries a given name, that name is used for `first_name` instead of the title. Name suffixes that aren't recognized (anything outside `jr`, `sr`, and `ii`–`x`) are dropped rather than passed through as-is.

Names legitimately beginning with `St ` are unaffected.

### Certification Parsing

Certification names that use unusual bullet characters or non-breaking spaces are now parsed correctly rather than retaining the leading punctuation in `certifications[].name`.
