I've been working on two shapes for laser cutting of ply parts. "deck border" file is how I want it. Also the "Keel 10 Apr" file seemed to be fine, but on zooming in I saw it had double lines. The x/y coordinates have been entered to create the shapes, and I see the nodes of the double lines fall equally each side of the point I entered. Is there a way to revert to what entered? I think I recall the nodes sometimes appearing double when I was creating the shape, and black fill appearing when I was dragging them. So maybe it was always double for some reason.

PS Before posting I read the tutorial again and tried ctrl+shit+K to break apart compound paths and then I was able to delete one of them (see file Keel 13 Apr). The remaining one is still not perfectly aligned with the ruler for further adjustments but I can probably work with that.
So I'd still like to know what I might have done to cause this duplication in the first place.
Seems you're calling Path->Stroke to path at some point. You have lost the original centre path. I have tried to reconstruct it - but it's just an approximation:
