itd-39 names a 'workspace' memory scope; the ahoy chapter says abcd has no workspace layer, only the repository and the user scope

A terminology drift (severity minor) found by the cross-document consistency pass.

  • End A: .abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/01-ahoy.md:547 — "There is no workspace, host, or development-environment layer."
  • End B: .abcd/development/intents/planned/itd-39-scope-aware-memory-retrieval.md:35 — "On a recall-keyword conflict, the narrower scope wins (workspace > user)."

itd-39 queries memory across two scopes, the workspace and the user's personal store, and <workspace>/.abcd/memory/ wins a conflict over the user scope. The ahoy chapter says abcd manages exactly one kind of folder, a repository, plus one user-scope directory. It says there is no workspace, host or development-environment layer, and that a folder grouping repositories gets no special treatment. Calling the narrower scope 'workspace' either names the repository with a word the brief rules out or implies a layer the brief says does not exist.

Evidence: .abcd/work/reviews/2026-10-26-consistency/00-summary.md, finding 374.
