-### SimplexNameConflict
-
-A peer's profile update claimed a SimpleX name (`#name.simplex` / `@name.simplex`) that was already held locally by another contact or group. The displaced row's `simplex_name` is set to NULL and the claim moves to the newer row; this event surfaces the displacement so the bot can warn the user about a possible impersonation.
