Description

When filling in who to send a message to, let's say we insert a "b". We are prompted with matching contacts as below:

Bob@example.com
bob@example.com

As you know, the two are equivalent so there's no point to show both of them.

Yes, even if they're in our Google Contacts file that way.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named; start by locating the recipient contact-matching flow and its tests. Confirm how suggestions are built, then verify that contacts differing only by email-address capitalization produce one suggestion, including contacts loaded from Google Contacts.
