+Point the second duplicate relationship at the mobile token in 17 components.
+
+103 relationship records referenced the desktop token twice, so the mobile token was never
+reachable through the relationship. The second record of each pair now references the token with
+the same name and the mobile scale.
+
+Components: accordion, combo-box, date-picker, drop-zone, list-view, menu, number-field, picker,
+search-field, segmented-control, side-navigation, tag, tag-field, text-area, text-field, tooltip
+and tree-view.

+Add SPEC-072, a warning for a relationship that duplicates another record's `$ref`.
+
+Two relationship records with the same scope, context and `$ref` leave the token's other scale
+unreachable when the token has a scale counterpart. Validation now reports the second record and
+names the counterpart. A repeated record on a token with no scale counterpart is not reported.
+The current data has no such duplicates after the repoint in this PR.
