Summary

• Match and Associate response pools listed a shared answer once per use; the saved XML and Kolibri list it once.
• Both pools now fold on the key their XML build folds on; blank answers and Match distractors keep one chip each.

Fixes #6324. First seen: #6168.

Reviewer guidance

Suggested review: Light-touch code review, then manual QA.

• User-visible files changed: contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/shared/views/QTIEditor/interactions/associate/Editor.vue, contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/shared/views/QTIEditor/interactions/associate/parse.js, contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/shared/views/QTIEditor/interactions/gapMatch/parse.js, contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/shared/views/QTIEditor/interactions/match/Editor.vue, contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/shared/views/QTIEditor/interactions/match/parse.js….
• Open a saved Match question with two rows sharing one answer, and an Associate question reusing an option, in view mode with "show answers" on and off: confirm one chip each, and that the pool does not reorder unexpectedly after editing.

• Gap Match isn't editable in Studio yet, so QA can't reach it.

QA setup: new exercise in an editable channel → New question; tick Show answers (correct chips green).

1. Match, shared answer. Response type → Match. Rows "France" → "Europe", "Bulgaria" → "Europe". Close, reload: one green "Europe" chip.
2. Match, edited answer. Change "Bulgaria" to "Asia": "Europe" and "Asia", both green. Change back to "Europe": one "Europe".
3. Match, blanks and distractor. Rows "France" → bold "Europe", "Spain" → "Europe", two rows with no answer; distractor "Europe": one green "Europe", one grey "Europe", two empty grey chips.
4. Match, image answer. Same image as answer in two rows: image once, green.
5. Associate, reused option. Pairs "Cat"/"Mammal", "Dog"/"Mammal", "Sparrow"/"Bird": five green chips, "Mammal" once. Add an empty pair: two empty chips, not green. Change Pair 2 "Mammal" to "Reptile": green "Reptile" shows.

Look out for:

• Items 2 and 5: pool order changes after each edit. Acceptable to an editor?

Claude Code planned and implemented the fold and tests; verified with the QTIEditor Jest suite and pre-commit.
