Sense 2:
daijs: "まじめで正直なこと。また、そのさま。実直"
daijr: "人柄がまじめなさま。実直。律儀"
  Comments:
I think "scrupulous" belongs in the first sense.
Sense 2 isn't in the JEs and the 国語 dic examples have no modern examples so I suspect it's archaic.

GG5, etc.
  Comments:
"scrupulous" usually only applies to people. Having it twice looked messy and confusing.

  Comments:
* Front “scrupulous” (best one-word description)
* Split as “detailed (record)” vs. “diligent (person)” – distinct senses, dicts split them
* Fix glosses to agree with adj-na pos
