alias_pattern
Redirect future observations of a pattern to another key. Merge duplicate patterns by aliasing a stray key to an existing canonical key, summing confidence into the target.
Instructions
Redirect all future observations of one pattern onto another.
Use this to merge duplicates: when the same concept has been recorded
under two keys (e.g. "seq:a->b" and "seq:a -> b" with a space), alias
the stray into the canonical one. Existing confidence is summed into
the target so no learning is lost.
The target must already exist. Use find_duplicates() to discover
merge candidates, then call this to apply them.
Args:
pattern: The key to retire. Future observations of this key will
be rerouted silently.
target: The canonical key to absorb into. Must already exist in
the store.
Returns:
On success: {"aliased": <pattern>, "target": <target>}.
On failure (target missing): {"error": "target pattern '<target>'
not found"} — check for the "error" key.
