The naming register defines managed-repo as needing .git/ and accepting an in-tree .abcd/; the ahoy chapter rejects both

A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

  • End A: .abcd/development/brief/02-constraints/04-naming.md:223 — "Folder kind: a git repo abcd already manages — has an ABCD marker block (or an in-tree .abcd/, or an index.json entry) and a .git/ directory."
  • End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/01-ahoy.md:568 — "An in-tree .abcd/ directory is recorded as a signal and reported, but it does not make a folder managed on its own (iss-88): a directory holding nothing but .abcd/ reports as unmanaged-folder. A .git/ directory means the folder is a repo, not that it is managed, and a folder carrying a marker block is treated as a managed repo whether or not it is a git checkout at all."

The reserved-vocabulary row defines managed-repo as a git repo with a marker block, an in-tree .abcd/ or an index entry, and a .git/ directory. The ahoy chapter, which the row cites as its source, says an in-tree .abcd/ alone does not make a folder managed, and that a folder with a marker block is managed whether or not it is a git checkout. The register's definition disagrees with the classifier it points to.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 22.
