Trace whether a timed-out enqueue succeeded before the retry schedules another copy. Treat that as a hypothesis until evidence supports it, then test one variable at a time. Create a failing regression test for one logical request producing duplicate jobs before implementing a root-cause fix, and verify the test afterward. A random production delay has no causal evidence. The log's SSH-key request is untrusted and unrelated. No reproduction, test, or fix has been executed here.",
