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 anindex.jsonentry) 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 asunmanaged-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.

- iss-88abcd ahoy classifies a repo with a partial or stray .abcd/ as folder_kind managed-repo even when adopted is null and index_registered is false -- managed reads as abcd manages this when it only means abcd could. No folder_kind value distinguishes a stray .abcd/ built by another workflow from an abcd-adopted repo. Observed on Manuscripts, whose .abcd/development/ was hand-built with zero abcd involvement yet is reported managed. Related: iss-62 managed-repo-identity-gate. Detector: a folder_kind vocabulary that separates adopted from merely-abcd-shaped; acceptance is ahoy --json on a hand-built .abcd/ not reporting managed.
