P1 Title uniqueness scope conflicts

When a title duplicates one from another game page, this requirement allows it while the existing cross-set policy prohibits it, causing contradictory guidance.

- **New sets must have unique badges for each achievement, across all of RA**
- Legacy sets with duplicated badges are added to the [Stock/Recycled Badges](https://retroachievements.org/hub/2369) hub. Please update them when possible.
- **Content covering up to completion** so long as the game can be beaten. Whether it be defeating the final boss, completing a first loop, or completing all puzzles, achievement sets that do not cover at least beating the game are deemed unfinished and therefore subject to demotion.
- Endless games where the focus is on high scores (such as Pac-Man and Crystal Castles) are exempt from this rule.
- Regarding compilation games, such as [Intellivision Classic Games (PlayStation)](https://retroachievements.org/game/13908), it is not required for every game in the compilation to have achievements. However, those that do have achievements must adhere to the above policy.
