2026-09-26 — Release v0.11.0 is cut by autonomous run A, and the run's agenda line is: approve the publish step. Under ruling A2 of the product thinker's run A interview (2026-09-23 07:52Z: the run approves the release environment itself once every gate is green) and the product thinker's releases ruling of 2026-09-25T08:04:52Z ("cut additional releases if that makes sense, but bundle multiple intents for it"), the run approves the `release` environment's deployment of v0.11.0 only after the merge queue, the verify job and every other gate on the tagged commit report green, and stops with a handover instead if any does not. The cut: v0.11.0, impact breaking (decided by itd-2609212130136102, the verb consolidation, whose five surface removals the guard names), 193 records since v0.10.0: eleven shipped intents (ten additive, one breaking) and 182 resolved or declined issues (108 fixes, three additive, 71 internal and outside the changelog); two major findings pass on their recorded deferrals (iss-2609250834251447, iss-2609251824244354). Content commit 9ef24744, on top of ae116575, which the docs-currency gate's findings required. Both semantic gates ran at tier full. docs-currency-reviewer (Fable 5.1) read the first roll and found four: the install one-liners ended on the retired `abcd version`, which v0.11.0 refuses with exit 2 (major; fixed in ae116575), a CONTRIBUTING wording (fixed there too), and two changelog lines recomposed by the composer; the guard gap behind one of them is captured as iss-2609260543090196. The brief-surface cross-check (40 pinned checkers, Opus 5.5, at most four alive) found 130, all real at the content commit by an independent classification (Fable 5.1): the eight user-facing and four behaviour findings are captured as nine minor records (iss-2609260552249742, iss-2609260552247395, iss-2609260552246303, iss-2609260552247252, iss-2609260552256523, iss-2609260552256401, iss-2609260552250826, iss-2609260552254288, iss-2609260552251398), and the design-record drift goes to the systematic brief pass iss-2609091956001547. Landed before the cut on the cutting session's ruling: #717 (the shell guard cluster) and #718 (the race lane's declared timeout, after #717 was ejected from the merge queue by the default ten-minute package timeout).

• iss-2609091956001547The iss-35 brief-surface crosscheck does not converge on a clean run. Three
• iss-2609250834251447A managed repository still has no local gate on a commit message carrying a live agent-session URL or a tool attribution footer, and nothing guards the text handed to the forge CLI for a pull request, an issue or a comment. abcd's own repository refuses both shapes in a commit message through its committed commit-msg hook, which runs go run ./cmd/abcd lint outbound from the source checkout; a managed repository has no source checkout, so the scaffolded form of that hook needs three product decisions first: how it finds an abcd binary (a git hook has no plugin root, so only the PATH rung survives), whether it fails closed or open when none is found, and whether abcd ahoy installs it by default or on opt-in. Split out of iss-2609061438431625 when its local half landed for this repository.
• iss-2609251824244354The shell guard reads a command substitution's output as an unknown word, but not a parameter expansion's. A dash glued to a variable (git push --$X origin main, rm -$F after a cd) is read as the literal text --$X, which names no flag, so every blocker allows it while its --$(echo x) twin blocks; and ${GIT:-git} standing in command position is compared as text. bash builds the hazard from either. Found while closing review2-guard (its finding 1 names --$X as pre-existing). The record named a second half, a substitution standing in command position, which fix round 3 of lane guard resolved (a name a substitution prints is every program its known tail allows); this record is the parameter-expansion half alone. Fix round 4 made a ${…} that carries a command substitution (${X:-$(…)}, --${X:-$(…)}) unknown from its ${ on (iss-2609252120211621). What remains is exactly a parameter expansion with no substitution in it: $X, ${X}, ${X:-word} and the other operators with literal words, and $@ / $*, standing as the command's program name, as a flag or glued to one, as an operand an entry constrains, or inside a payload the guard reads.
• iss-2609260543090196abcd guard warns instead of blocking a dash-glued substitution word after timeout when no duration follows: `timeout --$(x) pkill -f node` and `timeout -$(x) pkill -f node` come back as unrecognised-launcher (warn), while the same word behind sudo, env, xargs, nice, exec, doas, stdbuf, su or git blocks, and `timeout 5 pkill -f node`, `timeout --$(x) 5 pkill -f node` and `timeout 5 --$(x) pkill -f node` all block. Found by the v0.11.0 docs-currency gate (dc-4) and confirmed by the changelog composer against bin/abcd-darwin-arm64 built from ae116575.
• iss-2609260552246303`abcd history list|show|staged --help` say "Writes nothing" and commands/history.md:15 says they perform zero writes, while the store resolve seam (internal/core/history/location.go) creates the user-level store chain and moves a legacy corpus on first resolve, which commands/history.md:29 itself admits: the help and the page contradict each other and the behaviour. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-036, x-037).
• iss-2609260552247252commands/lint.md:11 says the lint command performs zero writes and names only the temp-dir site render, but `abcd lint site` renders the site into `--out`, default ./site under the working directory, when that directory holds no index.html: a bare run in a repository leaves a new directory. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-045).
• iss-2609260552247395commands/launch.md:152-153 tells a user that a failed release shows up as auto-release's detect job failing on the archive-pin gate, but auto-release runs no `launch archive` since 2026-09-25: the gate is release.yml's verify job, so the page sends the reader to the wrong job. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-007).
• iss-2609260552249742commands/disembark.md argument-hint offers a bare `<source-repo> <dest>` form, but only `abcd disembark pack <repo> <dest>` exists: typing the advertised form fails with `unknown command "<repo>" for "abcd disembark"`. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-006), reproduced by the classifier.
• iss-2609260552250826The inbox refuses a path occupied by a symlink or a file with an error not wrapped in ErrRefused (internal/core/report/inbox.go:176), so the refusal exits 1 against the documented exit-2 refusal contract in commands/inbox.md:66; a promotion can also exit 1 after its capture was already written. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-065).
• iss-2609260552251398`abcd capture resolve` refuses an unknown id and a transition conflict at exit 1 while the same verb's other refusals (a lone word, malformed grounds) exit 2 as commands/capture.md documents, so the refusal exit code is inconsistent within one verb (internal/core/capture/workflow.go). Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-099).
• iss-2609260552254288`abcd ahoy install` seeds a committed .abcd/docs-lint.json from abcd's own writing-guide rules into a target repository when it has none (internal/core/ahoy/apply.go, defaults/docs-lint.json), while the prepare-this-repo chapter (15-prepare-this-repo.md:125-127) says lint-config JSON the tool supplies is applied and never committed: the installer and the criterion disagree and one of them has to give. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-044).
• iss-2609260552256401commands/inbox.md:22-23 says the text forms open with an `untrusted:` line, but bare `abcd inbox` opens with a header first and an empty inbox prints `abcd inbox - nothing waits` with no untrusted notice at all, so the framing a reader is told to rely on is second or absent. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-064), reproduced by the classifier.
• iss-2609260552256523`abcd report`: on an exit-1 failure after the editor ran (inbox not creatable, id draw exhausted, temp file not creatable) the kept editor draft is named only for ErrRefused errors (internal/surface/cli/report.go), so the text survives but the user is not told where it is; commands/report.md:53 documents only exit 2. Found by the v0.11.0 brief-surface cross-check (x-063).
• itd-2609212130136102abcd's verbs consolidate: modes become flags and five checks become one lint
