The naming register relies on Role 2 to verify spec vocabulary registration at every plan-review, but Role 2 reads only the brief and the intents, through its own verb

A sequencing impossibility (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/02-constraints/04-naming.md:155 — "The Role 2 cross-document audit verifies registration on every plan-review."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/05-internals/01-agents.md:163 — "It reads the brief and every intent outside superseded/ and reports terminology drift"

The vocabulary-registration requirement applies to terms a spec introduces in its Modification Grammar > Ripple > Vocabulary delta, and the naming register says the Role 2 cross-document audit verifies registration on every plan-review. The agent catalog defines Role 2 as abcd intent consistency, which reads the brief and every intent outside superseded/. It reads no spec, and it runs as its own verb rather than at plan-review. As written, Role 2 cannot see the spec where the term is introduced, so it cannot meet the dependency the register puts on it.
