Deleted duplicates are being synced again
Hi, when I finish the sync of all my iOS pictures to Ente and then delete duplicates via Ente, the app begins backing up the deleted duplicates from the device again. Causing an endless loop of duplicates being deleted and synced.

Ente performs duplicate detection during uploads, and also allows you to manually run a deduplication process to remove duplicates across albums. See more about deduplication at https://help.ente.io/photos/features/deduplicate
Note that a two way sync is not currently supported. Attempting to export data to the same folder that is also being watched by the Ente app will result in undefined behaviour (e.g. duplicate files, export stalling etc). More information is available at https://help.ente.io/photos/faq/export#can-i-do-a-2-way-sync

That's odd, you sure they're exact duplicates, Ente checks the files hash. It can look like the exact same file but technically it isn't
If you deduplicated via Ente's setting it shouldn't happen
