Classification: story; source kind: story; decision: approve; confidence: high; review status: needs-review.
Rationale: Document-scoped sharing is an actual story with detailed criteria; contextual-menu cleanup is ancillary design feedback, not a replacement acceptance criterion. Partial overlap: 0047 repeats invitation channels and role management at space scope; 0045 establishes visibility defaults; 0041 is the nonmember requesting access, not an admin/writer granting it. These are distinct actors/scopes, not confirmed duplicates.
Review qualification: Uncertain identity/behavior/duplication remains a separate candidate; do not merge without review.
