Development record

2026-10-22 — The technical facilitator on the product thinker's delegation (ruled by the coordinating session, abcd-ae, 2026-10-22): spc-2610161609350616 (the merge gate) narrows its Footprint packages line from directories to the files its six steps change, because a directory footprint over-reserves and serialises unrelated work (it collided with the worktree store spec spc-2609301811532881 on internal/core/implement/loop and internal/surface/cli). Files still named by both specs (internal/core/board/board.go and its test, internal/surface/cli/cli.go, internal/surface/cli/board.go) are the merge gate's first; the store sequences its steps on them after the merge gate lands. Generated output (docs/reference/cli/commands.md, .abcd/development/release/surface.json and any other linguist-generated file) is reserved by no one and regenerated by whoever lands second.
