With the fix for verifying related elements this verification now verifies any related package and related relationships recursively. This could generate a large number of duplicate verification errors if several of the relationship refer to the same element which contains a verification error.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the recursive related-element verification introduced by pull request 159 and trace how verification errors are collected across repeated references. Done means the same underlying verification error is reported only once, with regression coverage for multiple relationships referring to the same element.
