Development record
The press release states as universal that a bare command shows status and mutations need a sub-verb, but bare `abcd drain` performs a mutating move
The press release states as universal that a bare command shows status and mutations need a sub-verb, but bare abcd drain performs a mutating move
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/01-product/01-press-release.md:5— "Bare invocation of any command shows status + suggested next actions; state-mutating actions require an explicit sub-verb (the universal abcd convention)." - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/35-drain.md:186— "each invocation of the bare verb performs one move and exits"
The press release calls it the universal abcd convention that bare invocation of any command shows status and suggested next actions, and that state-mutating actions require an explicit sub-verb. The drain chapter has no sub-verbs. Each bare invocation performs one move: it fetches, reserves on origin, asks judgements and opens lanes. A command whose bare form mutates local and remote state breaks the convention the press release calls universal.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 77.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262030301422. Bare drain performs one move and is already listed as an exception to the bare-renders convention; only the press release's 'universal' claim is wrong.

- dcn-26102711123305362026-10-27 — The product thinker accepted on 2026-10-27 the triage of the 1301 records the 2026-10-26 consistency pass filed. The duplicates, the records a later record already settles, the ones that are no contradiction and the one already fixed are closed with each reader's reason. Every other record gets its fix as its remedy, the rulings' accepted answers included, so a drain can take it. The 45 major records left open are deferred past v0.15.1, because the brief's single-home rewrite rewrites or removes most of the passages they quote. The person ruled the major rulings one at a time; the minor rulings take their recommended answers.
