+        <h2>Summary</h2>
+        <div class="summary">
+          <p>
+            A recent alert-context merge left <code>services/api/src/index.ts</code> importing
+            <code>fetchAlertContextByTraceId</code> twice from <code>@islandflow/storage</code>.
+            This change removes the duplicate import so the API entrypoint no longer carries that
+            merge regression.
+          </p>
+        </div>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Changes Made</h2>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Removed the second duplicate <code>fetchAlertContextByTraceId</code> import from <code>services/api/src/index.ts</code>.</li>
+          <li>Left the alert-context implementation and route behavior unchanged.</li>
+        </ul>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Context</h2>
+        <p>
+          This bug scan reviewed commits since the previous automation run on 2026-05-17. The
+          regression appears in the alert-context work that landed shortly after
+          <code>c0b5b6d</code> and remains present on the current tip.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Important Implementation Details</h2>
+        <p>
+          The fix is intentionally minimal because the failure mode came from import duplication,
+          not from the runtime logic itself.
+        </p>
+        <pre><code>import {
+  fetchAlertsAfter,
+  fetchAlertsBefore,
+  fetchAlertContextByTraceId,
+  fetchClassifierHitsAfter,
+  ...
+  fetchFlowPacketsAfter,
+  fetchFlowPacketById,
+  fetchFlowPacketsByMemberTraceIds,
+  ...
+} from "@islandflow/storage";</code></pre>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Expected Impact for End-Users</h2>
+        <p>
+          End-users should see no behavior change in the alert drawer itself. The benefit is
+          operational: the API source no longer contains this compile-time regression, which lowers
+          the chance of broken startup or validation around the new alert-context feature.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Validation</h2>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Ran <code>bun test apps/web/app/terminal.test.ts packages/storage/tests/alerts.test.ts services/api/tests/alert-context.test.ts</code> and all 75 tests passed.</li>
+          <li>Ran <code>bunx tsc --noEmit -p services/api/tsconfig.json</code>. The duplicate import no longer appears as an error, but the repo still has unrelated pre-existing TypeScript failures in other packages and modules.</li>
+        </ul>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations</h2>
+        <p>
+          The broader API TypeScript check is not clean yet. Remaining failures include unrelated
+          issues in <code>packages/bus</code>, <code>packages/config</code>,
+          <code>packages/storage</code>, <code>services/api/src/live.ts</code>, and other API type
+          call sites. They are outside the scope of this minimal regression fix, so they were not
+          changed here.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section>
+        <h2>Follow-up Work</h2>
+        <p>
+          No new follow-up issue was created for this patch beyond the Beads bug used to track this
+          fix. If the team wants a clean API typecheck gate, the remaining TypeScript failures
+          should be triaged separately.
+        </p>
