 ## Unreleased
 
+- A `(duplicate)` test whose lookup fails (an unreadable file) is unknown,
+  like unreadable content: an exclude holds, marked "(duplicate check
+  failed)", and no rule acts on it, `(not (duplicate))` included.
 - `make ci` passes on OpenBSD 7.9 (OpenBSD make) and FreeBSD 15.0 (bmake)
   with Go 1.26.8; the design notes that OpenBSD's `go` package needs
   `GOTOOLCHAIN=auto` to use it.
