Description

Twitter is displaying the same CN (same Note ID, e.g. 1786538789503979853) many times.
Screen Shot 2024-05-04 at 12 01 05 AM X CN gaming system

Expected behavior
A given CN should be displayed once. They're not duplicates; for each, clicking "View details" shows the same thing:
Note Author
Felicitous Moon Heron ...
View profile
Note status computed by open-source algorithm CoreModel (v1.1)
Note submitted
4:30 PM · May 3, 2024
· Note ID 1786538789503979853

Environment
Cross-platform (iOS/Safari (current/current) and MacOS/Brave)
9E1D428A-1DF1-4BCD-847C-533F24B80493_1_102_o

I think I've seen this before, but didn't investigate 'till now. Confirmed, so documenting it. (I had assumed it was someone trying to game the system, but it's a system glitch, not that.)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with Note ID 1786538789503979853 across the listed environments and compare the repeated entries with the expected single display. Then inspect the Community Notes source for the path that prepares or returns displayed notes; done means the same Note ID appears only once.
