The surface appendix generator labels /abcd:version a host-delegated command page: HostDelegatedSentence (internal/core/surface/appendix.go:84) is emitted for every shipped register row with no registered verb, so the generated appendix of 12-version.md:147 says the command page is host-delegated and has no flags, while commands/version.md runs the binary's root --version flag and record-lint.json's host_delegated list holds only consult, ingest and prepare-this-repo. The generator, not the prose, is wrong, and it re-emits the error on every regeneration. Found by the v0.12.0 release-gate brief-surface cross-check (x-039, checker a11, and its duplicate x-118, checker b00); the generator is new in the v0.12.0 cycle.

• dcn-26093000000000282026-09-30 — Release v0.12.0 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 v0.12.0 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: v0.12.0, impact breaking (three breaking records, iss-2609251324599468, iss-2609291313276243 and iss-2609292359485570, and five removed command spellings the release guard found and the records declare), 281 records since v0.11.1: eleven shipped intents, all additive, and 270 resolved or declined issues (171 fixes, nineteen additive, three breaking, 77 internal and outside the changelog); the release guard passed, and the findings guard passed with the one major carried past v0.11.1 on its recorded deferral (iss-2609281134544802). Content commit fecdbed5, on top of 4b8ff2afa, e8d5d006, 4d634c4f and c8ddb042, which the gates' findings required. Both semantic gates ran at tier full over the first roll b89784c4, which differs from the content commit only by those four commits and the re-cut CHANGELOG. The docs-currency-reviewer (Fable 5.1) found 24, four major (a schema version the CHANGELOG and the upgrade guide gave as 4 where the binary writes 8, a build page's key shape, and a timeout the CHANGELOG gave to three hook entries where only UserPromptSubmit declares it), all four fixed; eleven in all are fixed in 4b8ff2afa and the re-cut CHANGELOG, and the thirteen remaining minors and nitpicks are captured as one documentation record (iss-2609302306281487). The brief-surface cross-check (45 pinned checkers, Opus 5.5, at most eight alive) found 129, all valid at b89784c4 on an independent classification (Fable 5.1): 39 cycle, 87 standing, three user-facing and four behaviour. The three user-facing findings are fixed in 4b8ff2afa, and every finding on the guard chapter 17-guard.md in e8d5d006, 4d634c4f and c8ddb042, after three docs-review holds; the docs review of c8ddb042 is PROMOTE. One brief sentence (17-guard.md:426) was applied from the reviewer's draft and is flagged for the product thinker's review in .abcd/work/brief-review-flags.json. Captured as four records, all minor and all to be fixed in the first lane after the tag: a capture refusal that leaves .iss-alloc.lock behind (iss-2609302305500526, x-025), the appendix generator labelling /abcd:version host-delegated (iss-2609302306003610, x-039 and x-118), the guard's trailing-dot fold that its comment promises and `rm -rf ../.` does not make (iss-2609302306019245), and `docs fidelity` record and --apply disagreeing on a verdict's chapter shape (iss-2609302306153318). The behaviour finding x-001 is not a defect: bare `ahoy remote` listing its sub-verbs and exiting 0 is the stated behaviour of v0.12.0's breaking change, so the stale side is the shipped intent's criterion; it and the rest of the design-record drift go to the systematic brief pass iss-2609091956001547. Integration branch 24d, reviewed and ready, holds until the tag and falls into the next release.
