docs and launch each own a change-narration check over the same doc bodies and give opposite verdicts on an ambiguous phrase: a warning in the docs lint, a refusal in launch

A scope leakage (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

• End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/10-docs.md:140 — "Unambiguous change-narration blocks; phrases that can also describe present state warn advisorily rather than block."
• End B: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/04-launch.md:304 — "A pair the words cannot tell apart is refused, not passed: the tier is a release gate"

10-docs.md gives change-narration to the currency lint, which it presents as the check that gates a release, and says phrases that can also describe present state only warn. 04-launch.md runs its own hard-fail change-narration gate over the shipped doc bodies and refuses any pair the words cannot tell apart. The same ground is covered twice with contradictory outcomes, so a sentence that passes CI's docs lint with a warning refuses the cut. Neither chapter names the other's rule as the authority.
