Development record
Invariant 8 says every brief phase has an ## Acceptance block; the glossary records the phase as superseded.
Invariant 8 says every brief phase has an ## Acceptance block; the glossary records the phase as superseded.
A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/brief/02-constraints/03-invariants.md:153— "Every brief phase has an## Acceptanceblock in the same format." - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/glossary/core/phase.md:18— "Superseded on 2026-09-21 (adr-2609212115255771): the sequencing layer is dependencies plus the lifecycle shelves"
03-invariants' invariant 8 states 'Every brief phase has an ## Acceptance block in the same format.' The glossary's phase entry is marked 'Superseded on 2026-09-21 (adr-2609212115255771): the sequencing layer is dependencies plus the lifecycle shelves', and it forbids bare phase for a build-sequence milestone. A non-negotiable invariant is stated over a unit the glossary has retired, so it binds nothing a reader can identify.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 121.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262030341371. Same contradiction as iss-2610262030341371: invariant 8 states its rule over the phase, which the glossary retired.

- 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-2610262030341371Invariant 8 puts an Acceptance block on every 'brief phase'; the mental model puts it on the press release and surface chapters, with phases retired
