Description
Here is some invalid code:
structure A where
[]
It leads to the following slightly scary error message (or is it even an error message? It's actually an info diagnostic I think):
PANIC at _private.Lean.Environment.0.Lean.AsyncConsts.add Lean.Environment:432:4: duplicate normalized declaration name A vs. A
backtrace:
PANIC at _private.Lean.Environment.0.Lean.AsyncConsts.add Lean.Environment:432:4: duplicate normalized declaration name A vs. A
backtrace:
Expected behavior: There is already an error message unexpected token ']'; expected identifier which is probably enough.
Actual behavior: An additional scary panic message is printed twice.

Research direction
Reproduce the invalid structure A where [] snippet on the Lean nightly release or live.lean-lang.org and inspect the duplicate diagnostic path reported at Lean.Environment:432:4. Done means the existing unexpected token ']'; expected identifier diagnostic remains, without the additional panic being printed twice.
