Development record

abcd gives a person no way to commission a cold reading of a document they choose: abcd reading assemble takes only a position and a commit, and what each position reads is fixed by the committed preset file .abcd/config/reading-presets.json (today a set of shipped intents, their specs and delivered code), so a reading of one new draft, a principle or a single brief chapter means editing and committing that file first. Asked on 2026-10-09 whether a cold reading is only triggered automatically and only for the brief, the product thinker learned it is neither, and placed reading on the person's list.
