PokeAPI returns both lowercase and uppercase floor names (e.g. '1f' vs '1F') as separate sub-areas with identical encounter data. This causes duplicate routes in the UI. Fix by merging case-insensitive duplicate children in all seed JSON files, keeping the uppercase name and combining encounters.

649 duplicates across all 22 seed files.
