Currently, the deduplication process has issues. For example:

Changes in existing checks

- Improved :doc:`bugprone-easily-swappable-parameters

- Improved :doc:`bugprone-easily-swappable-parameters

  this is just an example test.
```

the check will hint:
```

The intent is to surface duplicates so developers can merge them manually. 
However, when run with the `--fix` flag, the tool deletes the later duplicate 
entry outright, leaving the file as:

```

```

This causes unintended content loss.

I'm not sure how to deal with this, perhaps emits a warning instead of deleting 
entries?

Any suggestions are welcome.
