- add conservative object type homogenization for stars, galaxies, QSOs, AGN, and Galactic objects - validate and safely evaluate configurable translation rules - normalize runtime schemas across crossmatch rounds - filter deduplication graphs by object type and redefine excluded-row diagnostics - bound transitive deduplication groups by representative radius - improve tie, label-merge, distance, and translation diagnostics - disable Rubin footprint generation by default - add technical documentation for the crossmatching and deduplication design
