Before refactoring into the chunk-format API, the commit-graph parsing
logic included checks for duplicate chunks. It is unlikely that we would
desire a chunk-based file format that allows duplicate chunk IDs in the
table of contents, so add duplicate checks into
read_table_of_contents().
Makes sense.  This answers a question I had while reading one of the
previous steps about the design, I think.

However...

... and no new code touches it.

The way duplicate is found is by having a inner loop that checks the
IDs of chunks we've seen so far (quadratic, but presumably that
would not matter as long as we'd be dealing with just half a dozen
chunk types).

Is the .found bit used for something else and needs to be added in a
different step?

Nope. It is just noise that I should have caught and deleted.
