The press release says bare invocation only shows status, but bare `abcd report` opens an editor and files a report into the inbox
The press release says bare invocation only shows status, but bare abcd report opens an editor and files a report into the inbox
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/29-report.md:35— "Bareabcd reportopens the skeleton in$VISUALor$EDITORwhen both ends of the session are a terminal, from a private temporary file outside both repositories, and files what is saved."
The press release says bare invocation of any command shows status and that state-mutating actions need an explicit sub-verb. The report chapter registers no sub-verb, and its bare form opens the skeleton in an editor and files what is saved into the machine inbox, a state-mutating act with no sub-verb. The two documents disagree on what a bare command may do.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 78.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262030301422. Bare report opens an editor and files what is saved, already enumerated as an exception; the same press release sentence is the one to fix.

- 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.
- iss-2610262030301422The press release calls bare-shows-status a universal convention; the naming page says conformance is partial and several verbs refuse or act instead
