itd-37 extends principle-distiller into a curator that writes memory pages from specs when they complete; disembark says its lifeboat agents, principle-distiller among them, read the packed lifeboat's files
A premise contradiction (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.
- End A:
.abcd/development/intents/disciplines/itd-37-modification-grammar.md:25— "At spec completion,principle-distiller(the role-extended curator from [itd-36] (../shipped/itd-36-memory-unification.md)) extracts the## Modification Grammarsection into two memory pages" - End B:
.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/02-disembark.md:307— "The four lifeboat agents read the packed lifeboat's files"
itd-37 has principle-distiller read a spec's Modification Grammar section when the spec completes and write two memory pages from it. That role needs no lifeboat. The disembark chapter counts principle-distiller among the four lifeboat agents and says they read the packed lifeboat's files. One agent cannot both work only from a packed lifeboat and curate specs in the live repository unless one of the two descriptions changes.
Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 342.
Grounds
- declined: Closed in the 2026-10-27 triage (dcn-2610271112330536) as a duplicate of iss-2610262034090653. Same root as iss-2610262034090653: the principle-distiller curator role that itd-37 line 25 relies on is not built (07-library.md lists it under Not built), so disembark's account of the shipped agent as reading only the packed lifeboat is accurate today.

- 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.
