libpff exports one Contact.txt per item, leading to duplicate records when processing large mailbox archives. This script reads a list of Contact.txt paths from stdin, merges duplicates keyed on primary email or display name, and emits a single vCard 3.0 .vcf file to stdout. - parse Contact.txt fields into a structured dict per file - filter Exchange internal addresses (/o=) from email fields - key contacts on first real email, falling back to display name - accumulate phones and emails when merging duplicate keys - map phone label substrings to vCard TEL type tokens - emit vCard 3.0 blocks with proper value escaping - report input/error/skip/merge/unique tallies to stderr Signed-off-by: Eric Wheeler <git-default@z.ewheeler.org>
