Description
If I have workflow with multiple jobs (e.g., testing C code with multiple versions of gcc), if the same warning/annotation comes up multiple times in different jobs, I want it to be appropriately deduplicated. That is, I don't want to see something like this:
(Feel free to tell me that this is the wrong venue to report this issue, and that there's a different place to be reporting issues in annotations, or that I should email support@github.com or whatever.)
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by identifying the matcher and annotation entry points in the TypeScript toolkit, then determine whether deduplication belongs here or in GitHub's annotation service. Done means identical annotations from multiple jobs are displayed only once, with coverage for the repeated-warning case.
