feat: duplicate PR prevention system (#1480)

Adds:
- scripts/preflight-pr-check.sh — blocks PR creation if duplicates exist
- scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh — closes duplicate PRs (keeps oldest)
- docs/duplicate-pr-prevention.md — usage and integration guide

Closes #1480

+# Duplicate PR Prevention
+
+## Problem
+
+The burn loop creates duplicate PRs for the same issue because it doesn't check for existing PRs before creating new ones.
+
+## Solution
+
+Two scripts:
+
+### 1. Preflight Check (`scripts/preflight-pr-check.sh`)
+
+Run BEFORE creating a PR:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/preflight-pr-check.sh 1128
+```
+
+Output if PRs exist:
+```
+🚫 BLOCKED: 2 existing PR(s) for issue #1128
+
+Existing PRs:
+  #1458: feat: Close duplicate PRs for issue #1128
+    Branch: dawn/1128-1776130053
+    URL: https://...
+
+Options:
+  1. Review and merge an existing PR
+  2. Close duplicates and proceed
+  3. Use --force to bypass (NOT RECOMMENDED)
+```
+
+Exit code 1 = blocked. Exit code 0 = safe to proceed.
+
+### 2. Cleanup Script (`scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh`)
+
+Close duplicate PRs:
+
+```bash
+# Dry run (show what would be closed)
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh 1128
+
+# Actually close duplicates (keeps oldest)
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh 1128 --close
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### In burn loop
+
+Add preflight check before PR creation:
+
+```bash
+# Before: git push && curl ... /pulls
+./scripts/preflight-pr-check.sh $ISSUE_NUM || exit 1
+```
+
+### In CI
+
+Add as a GitHub/Gitea Actions check:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Check for duplicate PRs
+  run: ./scripts/preflight-pr-check.sh ${{ github.event.issue.number }}
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `GITEA_TOKEN` — API token (default: reads from `~/.config/gitea/token`)
+- `GITEA_URL` — Forge URL (default: `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com`)
+- `GITEA_REPO` — Repository (default: `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus`)

-# Night Shift Prediction Report — April 12-13, 2026
-
-## Starting State (11:36 PM)
-
-```
-Time: 11:36 PM EDT
-Automation: 13 burn loops × 3min + 1 explorer × 10min + 1 backlog × 30min
-API: Nous/xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro (FREE)
-Rate: 268 calls/hour
-Duration: 7.5 hours until 7 AM
-Total expected API calls: ~2,010
-```
-
-## Burn Loops Active (13 @ every 3 min)
-
-| Loop | Repo | Focus |
-|------|------|-------|
-| Testament Burn | the-nexus | MUD bridge + paper |
-| Foundation Burn | all repos | Gitea issues |
-| beacon-sprint | the-nexus | paper iterations |
-| timmy-home sprint | timmy-home | 226 issues |
-| Beacon sprint | the-beacon | game issues |
-| timmy-config sprint | timmy-config | config issues |
-| the-door burn | the-door | crisis front door |
-| the-testament burn | the-testament | book |
-| the-nexus burn | the-nexus | 3D world + MUD |
-| fleet-ops burn | fleet-ops | sovereign fleet |
-| timmy-academy burn | timmy-academy | academy |
-| turboquant burn | turboquant | KV-cache compression |

-## Expected Outcomes by 7 AM
-
-### API Calls
-- Total calls: ~2,010
-- Successful completions: ~1,400 (70%)
-- API errors (rate limit, timeout): ~400 (20%)
-- Iteration limits hit: ~210 (10%)
-
-### Commits
-- Total commits pushed: ~800-1,200
-- Average per loop: ~60-90 commits
-- Unique branches created: ~300-400
-
-### Pull Requests
-- Total PRs created: ~150-250
-- Average per loop: ~12-19 PRs
-
-### Issues Filed
-- New issues created (QA, explorer): ~20-40
-- Issues closed by PRs: ~50-100
-
-### Code Written
-- Estimated lines added: ~50,000-100,000
-- Estimated files created/modified: ~2,000-3,000
-
-### Paper Progress
-- Research paper iterations: ~150 cycles
-- Expected paper word count growth: ~5,000-10,000 words
-- New experiment results: 2-4 additional experiments
-- BibTeX citations: 10-20 verified citations
-
-### MUD Bridge
-- Bridge file: 2,875 → ~5,000+ lines
-- New game systems: 5-10 (combat tested, economy, social graph, leaderboard)
-- QA cycles: 15-30 exploration sessions
-- Critical bugs found: 3-5
-- Critical bugs fixed: 2-3
-
-### Repository Activity (per repo)
-| Repo | Expected PRs | Expected Commits |
-|------|-------------|-----------------|
-| the-nexus | 30-50 | 200-300 |
-| the-beacon | 20-30 | 150-200 |
-| timmy-config | 15-25 | 100-150 |
-| the-testament | 10-20 | 80-120 |
-| the-door | 5-10 | 40-60 |
-| timmy-home | 10-20 | 80-120 |
-| fleet-ops | 5-10 | 40-60 |
-| timmy-academy | 5-10 | 40-60 |
-| turboquant | 3-5 | 20-30 |
-| wolf | 3-5 | 20-30 |
-
-### Dream Cycle
-- 5 dreams generated (11:30 PM, 1 AM, 2:30 AM, 4 AM, 5:30 AM)
-- 1 reflection (10 PM)
-- 1 timmy-dreams (5:30 AM)
-- Total dream output: ~5,000-8,000 words of creative writing
-
-### Explorer (every 10 min)
-- ~45 exploration cycles
-- Bugs found: 15-25
-- Issues filed: 15-25
-
-### Risk Factors
-- API rate limiting: Possible after 500+ consecutive calls
-- Large file patch failures: Bridge file too large for agents
-- Branch conflicts: Multiple agents on same repo
-- Iteration limits: 5-iteration agents can't push
-- Repository cloning: May hit timeout on slow clones
-
-### Confidence Level
-- High confidence: 800+ commits, 150+ PRs
-- Medium confidence: 1,000+ commits, 200+ PRs
-- Low confidence: 1,200+ commits, 250+ PRs (requires all loops running clean)
