contradiction-detection-must-precede-action-on-rag-retrieval

When vault or RAG retrieval surfaces two conflicting documents, the conflict must be flagged before acting on either. Without explicit contradiction detection, the model silently picks one document without signaling the ambiguity — the output appears correct but is effectively random. This is particularly dangerous for architectural decisions where an old decision document conflicts with a newer one that superseded it.
