Merged Record Alias

What It Is

This retired entry preserves the allocated identity of an earlier concept. Aliases now appear among the facets of a merge.

It is no longer a separate broad concept in the planning layer.

Earlier references remain resolvable. New planning reads the parent concept.

The retained facet rows provide continuity with the earlier classification.

Merge is the current conceptual home.

Future additions belong to that parent unless Product establishes a distinct broad outcome.

Definition: Absorbed identities are retained here as a retired concept; aliases now form part of the merge concept.

`CON-CRM-DQ-004`	An alias identifies the merge that writes it within the same transaction.	test services-crm:modules/merges/tests/integration/services/persistence/merged-record-aliases.integration.spec.js#records the aliases in the transaction the caller opened, so they commit with the merge or not at all
`CON-CRM-ENT-001`	Contact aliases resolve to the survivor and prevent reuse of absorbed contact identity.	test services-crm:modules/merges/tests/integration/db/merged-id-reuse.integration.spec.js#refuses a contact under it, naming the id and what became of it
`CON-CRM-ENT-002`	Organization aliases provide equivalent resolution independently of contacts.	test services-crm:modules/merges/tests/integration/db/merged-id-reuse.integration.spec.js#refuses an organization under it, naming the id and what became of it
`CON-CRM-ENT-033`	Absorbed contact history remains accessible through the current survivor.	test services-crm:modules/merges/tests/e2e/merged-records.e2e.spec.js#reads the absorbed contact’s own history through the survivor, ending in its deletion
