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 — "Bare abcd report opens the skeleton in $VISUAL or $EDITOR when 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.
