Use candidate aliases and their cited transcript windows to determine whether candidates refer to the same individual. Preserve distinct individuals even when their names are similar.
When selecting a canonical display name, prefer a complete, stable proper name
over an abbreviation. Prefer an unadorned proper name over that name plus a
contextual class, role, title, or relationship descriptor unless the transcript
establishes the descriptor as part of the person's name. A longer display name
is not inherently more canonical; for example, do not prefer Captain Aria
over Aria solely because it includes the contextual title Captain.
