Instructions

2. Report findings to the user in a clear format:
   • Exact duplicates: Items with identical triggers/actions
   • Similar items: Items with similar names or overlapping functionality

3. For each duplicate found, suggest:
   • Which one to keep (the more complete/better named one)
   • How to consolidate them if they have different conditions
   • Entity IDs that may need updating after removal
