Search_results showing duplicated sources in deep research

Bug Reports
1

:bug: Describe the Bug

Sonar-Deep-Research shows the same source/url as if they were different sources in search_results.

:white_check_mark: Expected Behavior

Each source should be unique and not appear duplicated.

:cross_mark: Actual Behavior

search_results sometimes shows the same url/source more than once, as if they were different sources.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Steps to Reproduce

  1. Call the API with the contents shown below.
  2. Sometimes the search_results object will have duplicated values of sources/url. It doesn’t happen everytime, and I couldn’t find the reason why, since the request is always the same.
