Description

Documents what happens when a tool's grouping is moved back to "As the parser groups them" after running consolidate_folded_findings. Nothing is split when the change is saved, because the parser's grouping is only known at the next import. On the next reimport, a folded finding that the report still lists becomes an active finding again, and its locations move back from the surviving finding with their status history. The paragraph also says that the finding comes back unverified, and that a duplicate is left alone when the surviving finding is no longer active.

This describes a DefectDojo Pro behavior change that ships in the same release.

Test results

Docs only: one paragraph added to docs/content/triage_findings/finding_deduplication/PRO__deduplication_tuning.md.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Explain that moving a tool back to the parser's grouping after
consolidate_folded_findings splits the folded findings on the next reimport,
with their locations moving back, and when a duplicate is left alone.

Say that every location type moves back, that the reopened finding gets a
note naming the finding it was folded into, and that a finding marked as a
duplicate by hand stays a duplicate.
