+Q1 - improve question-bank variety.
+
+This one-off migration edits BOTH the source JSON files and the shipped asset
+DB. It only changes row content:
+  * delete fully duplicated question rows where text + answer payload match
+  * rewrite remaining duplicate visible texts so each prompt is unique
+  * rewrite over-cap template stems into varied, topic-specific prompts
+
+Room schema and identity hash are untouched. build_db.py is NOT run.
