The reserved-vocabulary register fixes review verdicts as SHIP / NEEDS_WORK / MAJOR_RETHINK; the docs chapter's saved docs review returns PROMOTE, HOLD or INCONCLUSIVE, which the register does not hold.

The reserved-vocabulary register fixes review verdicts as SHIP / NEEDS_WORK / MAJOR_RETHINK; the docs chapter's saved docs review returns PROMOTE, HOLD or INCONCLUSIVE, which the register does not hold.

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

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/02-constraints/04-naming.md:187 — "Review verdicts ∈ {SHIP, NEEDS_WORK, MAJOR_RETHINK}"
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/10-docs.md:78 — "A receipt for HEAD that is PROMOTE lets the change proceed."

04-naming registers review verdicts as the closed enum {SHIP, NEEDS_WORK, MAJOR_RETHINK}, and requires every new term to be registered. 10-docs describes layer 2 of the doc-fidelity gate as a host-delegated docs review whose receipt reads PROMOTE, HOLD or INCONCLUSIVE. A second, unregistered set of review verdicts is in use beside the registered one, so 'review verdict' now names two different closed sets.
