Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with .gm off, .go c 108207, and repeated movement or GM toggles, comparing the first and subsequent client visuals. Trace the client-side handling of the channeled chain visual and determine why it is duplicated after reload. Done means the visual remains single after moving away and returning or toggling GM state.
