Duplicate detection (the "merge / skip / overwrite" the user asked for):
- New POST /gedcom/preview dry-runs the file and flags incoming people that
resemble existing ones (name similarity via difflib + birth-year guard;
high/medium score). No writes.
- /gedcom/import takes default_action (new|skip|merge|overwrite) + per-xref
resolutions {xref: {action, target_id}}:
new create as a new person (current behavior)
skip link families to the existing person, copy nothing
merge attach the incoming names (as alternates), events, citations,
and notes onto the existing person
overwrite soft-delete the existing person, import the incoming one fresh
Relationship creation is deduped so a merge can't double an edge.
Richer record mapping (covers the user's repo's GEDCOM):
- Multiple NAME records honor their TYPE; _MARNM (and NICK) import as typed
alternate names — maiden stays primary, married becomes a "married" Name.
- RELI -> a "religion" event with the value in detail; OCCU/EDUC values too.
- NOTE -> person notes (and event notes); NOTE/RELI are no longer "unmapped".
- Export round-trips name TYPE.
Verified against the user's 2185-person export: 0 unmapped tags. 48 tests pass.

A pragmatic GEDCOM parser + mapper: import reads INDI/FAM/SOUR and creates people, names, life events, partnership + qualified parent-child relationships, marriage events, places (deduped), sources, and citations from SOUR refs — returning a mapping report (counts + unmapped tags). Export serializes the tree back to GEDCOM (families derived from the edge model). Import is additive (no merge) and runs inline for now. Round-trip test passes; 29 tests total.
